Instructions:
- Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, sugar, minced garlic, and onion powder until well combined.
- Pour the marinade over the salmon fillet, ensuring it covers both sides of the fish.
- Let the salmon marinate for at least 15-20 minutes. For deeper flavor, you can let it marinate in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C).
- Once the grill is hot, oil the grill grates to prevent the salmon from sticking.
- Place the marinated salmon fillet on the grill, skin side down if it has skin.
- Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side. The flesh should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fillet.
- Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a minute.
- Serve the grilled soy-sesame salmon with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Choose fresh salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a vibrant color.
- To ensure even cooking, let the salmon come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before grilling.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can mince the garlic clove instead of leaving it whole.
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the salmon in the soy-sesame mixture for 15-20 minutes before grilling.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grill grates to prevent the salmon from sticking.
- Cook the salmon skin-side down first to protect the delicate flesh from overcooking.
- Use a fish spatula to carefully flip the salmon to avoid breaking the fillets.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added texture and flavor.
