Fast Salmon with a Ginger Glaze

Recipe View Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat (about 375-400°F) and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if using skin-on) on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork and is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F. (12-16 minutes)

Recipe View Prepare the Ginger Glaze: While the salmon is grilling, combine the water, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, chili paste, grated ginger, and soy sauce in a small saucepan. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Simmer the Glaze: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 2 minutes, or until the glaze has slightly thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Glaze and Garnish: Once the salmon is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil evenly over the fillets, then spoon the ginger glaze generously over the top. Garnish with extra fresh basil, if desired. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Serve Immediately: Serve the glazed salmon immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
