Ingredients

  • Freshly cleaned whole salmon weighing 3 pounds
  • A quarter cup of soy sauce
  • A tablespoon of zesty chile sauce
  • One tablespoon of finely chopped fresh ginger root
  • Finely chopped clove of garlic
  • Juice of a lime to add tanginess
  • Zest from one lime for extra flavor
  • A tablespoon of rich brown sugar
  • Three green onions, finely chopped

Step 1

Get your outdoor grill ready for some serious heat action.

Step 2

Start by giving your salmon a sleek makeover - say goodbye to the tail and fins, and make some gentle cuts on the skin. Lay the salmon on a trio of generously-sized aluminum foil sheets, making sure they slightly overlap.

Step 3

Whisk up a flavorful concoction in a bowl with soy sauce, a kick of chile sauce, zesty ginger, and aromatic garlic. Add a burst of freshness with lime juice, zesty lime zest, and a touch of brown sugar. Drizzle this tantalizing sauce over the salmon.

Step 4

Wrap the foil snugly around the salmon, sealing it with a neat crimp.

Step 5

For charcoal grills, shift the hot coals to one side. Position the fish on the grill opposite the direct heat and shut the lid. If you're using a gas grill, place the fish on one side and turn off the flames underneath it before closing the lid. Let it cook away for about 25 to 30 minutes.

Step 6

Once done, transfer the salmon to a fancy serving platter and drizzle any flavorful juices from the foil over the top. Finish off with a sprinkle of fresh green onions for that final touch of deliciousness.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep herbs fresh : Store fresh herbs like cilantro and parsley in a glass of water, just like a bouquet of flowers. This will keep them fresh and crisp for your next delicious salmon dish.
  2. 2. Maximize freezer space : Freezing individual portions of the salmon in airtight bags will not only save space in your freezer but also make it easy to grab a portion whenever you're craving that spicy BBQ flavor.
