Ingredients:

8 oz salmon
230g
1 tsp soy sauce
6g
1 tsp sesame oil
4.50g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1/2 tsp sugar
2.10g
1 garlic clove
3g
1 tsp onion powder
2.40g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish.
2. Marinade:
- 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.
3. Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C).
4. Grilling:
- 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.
5. Serving:
- 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.

Grilled soy-sesame salmon with garlic is a quick and delicious recipe that brings out the best in salmon. The combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and onion powder creates a savory and aromatic marinade that perfectly complements the richness of the fish.
