Salmon Marinade
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 cup mirin – or sub 2 tablespoons honey and 2 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons miso paste
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely minced or grated
- 1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced or grated
- Optional: 1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke or use wood chips
Instructions
- Preheat grill to Medium (325F-350F). Add wood chips if using- see post body.
- If using skin-on salmon, pat the skin side dry, brush with olive oil and season with salt. Place on a piece of a parchment-lined sheet pan, skin down.
- Whisk the marinade ingredients until smooth in a small bowl. Brush liberally over the salmon, saving the rest for basting while grilling. You can refrigerate this overnight for more flavor.
- Grease the grill well. Carefully place the whole salmon over the grill. Feel free to add grillable veggies. Cover for 5 minutes and check.
- If using a whole fillet, do not flip, just continue cooking covered until the internal temp at the thickest part reaches 125-130 (Medium). Inside should be flakey, with a slight translucency in the middle.
- Remove the salmon fillet using 2 metal spatulas, place it on a platter and serve immediately.
- (If grilling individual pieces, place skin side down first, grill for 5 minutes or until skin is crispy, turn over if you like, and cook for just a few more minutes, until internal temp reaches 125-130F. )
