Prepare delicious Asian-style grilled salmon. Except for marinating time, the entire process takes just minutes. For this recipe, use skin-on salmon fillets. Marinate them for half an hour in a mixture of soy sauce, fresh ginger, maple syrup, hot sauce, and spices, reserving some of the marinade for glazing the fish while grilling. The salmon turns out incredibly juicy, with a crispy skin and a delicious glaze, packed with a savory, sweet, spicy, and tart flavors. Serve sprinkled with finely chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Preparation:

Step 1
• In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, maple syrup, Chinese mustard, Sriracha sauce, and garlic. Pour one-third of the mixture into a small bowl and set aside. Add the salmon fillets to the large bowl. Marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for 30 minutes.
Step 2
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil to coat the pan. Place the fish skin-side down and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Pour the reserved marinade over the fish. Flip and cook until the salmon is cooked through and the flesh is golden brown, another 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds and serve.
