Spicy Asian Salmon
This salmon is SO good served on top of a rice salad and a side of freshly sliced, rice vinegar & sugar marinated cucumbers. Adjust the spiciness of this by adding more or reducing the sriracha sauce but don’t leave out the garnish – the peanuts and fresh cilantro really take this over the top!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. fish sauce
1 tbsp. freshly grated ginger
Juice of 1 lime
1 tsp Sriracha, optional
2 pounds wild BC salmon, cut into about 6 portions
¼ cup roasted peanuts, chopped
2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions:
Heat your BBQ to medium, about 375F.
To make the sauce, whisk together chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic, fish sauce, ginger, lime juice and Sriracha in a small bowl; set aside.
Cut 12 sheets of foil, about 12-inches long. Make a double layer of foil and place one piece of salmon onto each piece of foil and fold up all 4 sides of the foil. Spoon the chili sauce mixture over the salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon, covering completely and sealing the packet closed. Place the pouch on the grill and cook just until the salmon is cooked through, approx. 12-15 minutes depending on its thickness.
Serve immediately, garnished with peanuts and fresh cilantro.
