Easy Grilled Sesame Ginger Salmon

This salmon is marinated in a savory sesame ginger sauce, then grilled to perfection, resulting in a tender and flaky texture. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Chopped green onions for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, honey, and rice vinegar.
Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
