How to Make Asian Grilled Salmon Low Carb Fabulous
- Place salmon fillets (about 1.5 lbs) in a large zip-loc style plastic bag.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients (see below) and pour over the salmon.
- Seal the bag, pressing out excess air, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F).
- Remove salmon fillets from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place salmon on a well-oiled grill grate, about 5 inches from the heat source.
- Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Adjust grilling time based on the thickness of your fillets.
- Remove from grill and serve immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions (optional).
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.
