Instructions
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Simmer the Glaze: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze has slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the glaze for serving.
- Prepare the Salmon: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Lightly brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Grill and Glaze: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) on the hot, oiled grates. Grill for 4-5 minutes. Flip the salmon carefully, then immediately start brushing the top side generously with the prepared glaze.
- Finish Cooking: Continue grilling for another 5-7 minutes, brushing with more glaze every 2 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
- Serve: Remove the salmon from the grill. Drizzle the reserved fresh glaze over the top of each fillet and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results when grilling, avoid moving the salmon until it is time to flip to ensure nice grill marks. This glaze pairs wonderfully with steamed rice and bok choy.
