Ingredients

  • 4 (8 ounce) fresh salmon fillets

  • salt to taste

  • cup cold water

  • ¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek)

  • 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil

Directions

  1. Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. Season salmon fillets with salt.

  3. Place salmon on the preheated grill; cook salmon for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  4. Combine water, rice vinegar, brown sugar, chile paste, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.

  5. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until barely thickened, about 2 minutes.

  6. Sprinkle basil on top of salmon; spoon glaze over basil.

Tip

Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.
