Ingredients

4 slices of salmon fillet

Marinade

1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon hot sauce or sriracha (optional)
1 pinch curry (optional)
½ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

Optional Salad

4 tomatoes
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley
2 sprigs cilantro
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ squeezed lemon
½ squeezed lime

Garnish

Scallions, chopped thinly on a bias or angle
Toasted sesame seeds
Honey

Preparation

1. Prepare marinade: Combine all ingredients and place in a large ziplock bag.

2. Add salmon and seal.

3. Place in fridge for 1 to 4 hours.

4. Preheat grill or grill pan to high heat, and brush lightly with oil.

5. Place salmon, skin-side up, onto the grill and allow to sit untouched for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your grill or pan. You are only looking for nice grill marks and not cooking it completely on that side.

6. Flip the salmon over, skin-side down, and repeat. At this point, drizzle reserved honey over the surface of the salmon.

7. The salmon can either be finished skin-side down or removed and finished in the oven at 350° for another 8 minutes or when the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°.

8. Plate your fish and garnish with optional salad, toasted sesame seeds, or scallions.
