Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs salmon filets
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ground ginger or 1/4 tsp ground
  • 1 tsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
  • sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger.
  2. In a large bowl or ziplock bag, add the salmon filets and half of the marinade. Let marinade 1-4 hours.
  3. When ready to grill, preheat grill to 450-500F and grease grill grates. I use nonstick spray.
  4. Add marinated filets skin side up (if no skin, it doesn't matter which side), and close grill lid. Discard old marinade.
  5. Let cook 7-8 minutes. Using a fish spatula or delicate spatula, flip fish over. Fish should not be sticking to grill, if it is sticking, let it cook a few more minutes. Once flipped, cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until 130F. Let fish rest 10 minutes.
  6. Heat the remaining fresh marinade in a sauce pan over medium high heat. Once bubbling, add arrowroot slurry. Let bubble another 2 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Turn off heat, it will continue to thicken as it sits.
  7. Brush thickened marinade over top of fish. Top with sesame seeds.
