Equipment

• Mixing Bowl:
• Whisk:
• Zip lock bag or shallow dish for marinating
• Grill or grill pan
• Tongs:
• Basting Brush:
• Saucepan (if thickening sauce)

Ingredients

  

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each), skin-on or skinless
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening sauce)
• Toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
• Cooked rice or steamed vegetables for serving

Instructions

 

• Prepare the Salmon: Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried dill, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. If using the optional marinade, whisk together soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, and Dijon mustard in a separate bowl.

  Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, making sure they are well-coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. If you're short on time, you can marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
• Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat.
• Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.

  Place the fillets on the preheated grill or grill pan, skin-side down first.

  Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork. Baste the fillets with any remaining marinade during grilling.
• Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 145°F (63°C). The flesh should be opaque and easily flake with a fork.
• Serve: Carefully remove the grilled salmon from the grill or pan using tongs. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve the grilled salmon hot, accompanied by lemon wedges for an extra zing.
• Enjoy: Dive into the delightful flavors of your perfectly grilled salmon. Pair it with your favorite side dishes, such as a fresh salad or grilled vegetables, for a complete and healthy meal.

Grilled Teriyaki Salmon Recipe

A tangy teriyaki sauce goes great with salmon, which is a flexible and tasty fish. When you grill salmon, the natural flavors come out stronger and the char from the grill goes well with the sweetness of the teriyaki sauce. This article has my favorite Grilled Teriyaki Salmon recipe, which is great for a quick dinner during the week or a BBQ with friends on the weekend.

Ingredients:

Fresh Salmon Fillets

Teriyaki Sauce

Soy Sauce

Mirin

Brown Sugar

Garlic

Ginger

Optional: Sesame Seeds, Green Onions

Preparing the Marinade:

I start by putting teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, mirin, and brown sugar in a bowl and mixing them together. Then I cut the garlic and ginger into small pieces and add them to the mixture to make it taste even better. When I mix all the ingredients together, I have a rich and tasty sauce that is ready to add flavor to the salmon.

Marinating the Salmon:

Next, I put the salmon fillets in a big Ziploc bag and pour the marinate over them, making sure that each piece gets a good coat. To let the spices get into the fish, I seal the bag and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Preparing the Grill:

I heat my grill to medium-high while the fish is cooking. To keep the salmon from sticking while it’s cooking, make sure the grill sides are clean and lightly oil them.

Grilling the Salmon:

When the grill is hot, I take the salmon pieces out of the marinate and put them on it with the skin side down. I use some of the marinade that I saved to brush on each fillet to keep them juicy and tasty. Then I put the lid back on the grill and cook the salmon for four to five minutes on each side, or until it’s done all the way through and the edges are slightly browned.

Checking for Doneness:

A meat thermometer is used to check the internal temperature of the salmon to make sure it is cooked all the way through. Inside the salmon should be 145°F, and it should be easy to flake with a fork when it’s done.

Serving Suggestions:

When the salmon is done, I carefully move it to a serving plate and add chopped green onions and sesame seeds to make it look colorful and fresh. I like to eat this grilled teriyaki salmon dish with steamed rice and grilled veggies on the side for a full meal.

Tips for Success:

To keep the salmon from getting too done, I suggest keeping a close eye on it while it’s on the grill and changing the cooking time based on how thick the pieces are. When you use fresh ingredients, like salmon, garlic, and ginger, each bite will have the most taste possible.

Variations and Substitutions:

You can change the flavors of this grilled teriyaki salmon to fit your tastes. For a slightly sweeter sauce, you can use honey instead of brown sugar. For a hot kick, you can add chili flakes. Salmon is easy to switch out for other fish, like trout or mahi-mahi, if you don’t like it.

Health Benefits of Salmon:

Salmon is not only tasty, but it is also very good for you. Lots of omega-3 fatty acids are in it. These acids are good for your brain and can lower your risk of heart disease. You can get a lot of protein from salmon, which makes it a great choice for people who want to eat more protein.

Conclusion:

This recipe for grilled Teriyaki salmon is easy to make and tastes great. A tasty and healthy meal can be ready in no time with just a few simple items and little work. This fish recipe will be a hit whether you’re grilling it for a family dinner or a bbq in your backyard. Put the food on the grill and try it!

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?
   • For this dish, you can use frozen fish. To get even cooking, make sure to let it thaw all the way before seasoning and grilling.
2. How long should I grill the salmon?
   • How long you cook the salmon will depend on how thick the pieces are. To give you an idea, grill the salmon for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until it’s fully cooked and flaky when you use a fork.
3. Can I use store-bought teriyaki sauce?
   • You can use store-bought teriyaki sauce if you need to, but for the best taste and quality, make your own. You can use store-bought sauce instead, though, if you’d rather.
4. Do I need to remove the skin from the salmon before grilling?
   • The choice of whether to remove the skin before cooking or leave it on is up to you. Some people like to take off the skin before serving because it helps the salmon stay together while it’s cooking and can also make it taste better.
5. How can I tell if the salmon is cooked through?
   • When the salmon flakes easily with a fork and turns dark all the way through, it’s done. A meat thermometer can also be used to make sure the temperature inside the meat is 145°F (63°C).
6. Can I use a grill pan or indoor grill instead of an outdoor grill?
   • Yes, you can cook the salmon in a grill pan or on an indoor grill if you don’t have a grill outside. Just heat up the grill pan or indoor grill to medium-high and follow the same steps for cooking.
7. What can I substitute for teriyaki sauce if I don’t have any on hand?
   • If you don’t have teriyaki sauce, you can use a mixture of soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger instead. It will taste the same. Make changes to the recipe to suit your taste, then use it to marinate the fish.
8. Can I make this recipe with other types of fish?
   • You can make this recipe with other kinds of fish, like trout, cod, or tilapia. Just change how long you cook the fish pieces based on how thick they are.
9. How should I store any leftover grilled teriyaki salmon?
   • Any grilled teriyaki salmon recipe that you don’t use right away can be kept in the fridge for up to two or three days in a sealed container. Warm it up slowly in the oven or microwave before serving.
10. Can I freeze the marinated salmon for later use?
    • You can freeze the fish that has been marinating and use it later. Put the salmon pieces in a container or bag that can go in the freezer. Remove as much air as you can before closing the bag or container. Put it in the freezer for two to three months. As usual, thaw in the fridge before cooking.
