Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. This vibrant marinade is the secret to the salmon’s sensational flavor.
- Arrange the salmon fillets in a flat container or a sealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure each fillet is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
The longer it marinates, the bolder the flavors will become - Meanwhile, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C). Ensure the grill grates are well-cleaned and lightly greased to avoid sticking.
- Once the salmon is done marinating, take it out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for a few minutes.
- Take out the salmon fillets from the marinade, letting any extra marinade drip away. Reserve the marinade for later.
- Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill the salmon for about 6 minutes per side, or until it’s cooked to your desired level of doneness. Baste the salmon with the reserved marinade during grilling for an extra burst of flavor.
- Gently take the salmon off the grill and move it to a serving dish. Then garnish the grilled firecracker salmon with chopped fresh cilantro for a pop of color and an added burst of freshness before serving.
