How to Make Asian Grilled Salmon
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and minced garlic.
- Drizzle half of the marinade over the salmon fillets. Let them marinate for 10 minutes.
- Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill.
- Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Transfer the salmon to a plate, skin-side down.
- Spoon the remaining marinade over the cooked salmon.
- Let the salmon rest for 5-10 minutes before removing the skin (if desired) and serving. Enjoy warm or cold!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
