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
