How to Make Asian Salmon

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or Splenda blend/Splenda), 2 cloves pressed garlic, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup minced onion.
  2. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  4. **For Indoor Contact Grill:** Preheat your grill. Grill salmon on the lowest setting for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  5. **For Oven:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake uncovered for 15-18 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
