List of Ingredients



• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  
• 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
  
• 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  
• 2 center-cut salmon fillets, about 5 oz each
  






Instructions



1. In shallow glass dish, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, and vinegar. Add salmon; turn to coat. Marinate, refrigerated, for 30 minutes to 1 hour, turning occasionally.
   
   
2. Preheat grill (medium-high heat); lightly oil grill. Place fillets on grill, skin-side up. Grill about 5 minutes per side. Fish is cooked when a thin knife blade inserted in center reveals that the pink flesh is almost opaque. Serve warm.
   
   






Final Comments


Serves 2

Purchase center-cut salmon fillets for this recipe — thinner fillets, cut from the tall end of the salmon, can too easily overcook on the grill. Salmon skin cooks to a tasty crispiness, so keep the skin on when grilling.
