Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 8 - 4 Ounces (oz) salmon fillets
• 0.5 - Cups peanut oil
• 4 - Tablespoons (tbsp) soy sauce
• 4 - Tablespoons (tbsp) balsamic vinegar
• 4 - Tablespoons (tbsp) green onions, minced
• 3 - Teaspoons (tsp) brown sugar
• 2 - Cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 - Teaspoons (tsp) ginger, ground
• 2 - Teaspoons (tsp) red pepper flakes, ground
• 1 - Teaspoon (tsp) sesame oil
• 0.5 - Teaspoon (tsp) salt

Steps

1. Place the salmon fillets in a medium, nonporous glass dish.
2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the peanut oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced green onions, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, sesame oil, and salt until well combined.
3. Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the dish and marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours, flipping the fillets halfway through to ensure even marination.
4. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
5. Grill the salmon fillets about 5 inches from the coals for approximately 10 minutes per inch of thickness, turning them over halfway through the cooking time. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 130°F.
6. Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your spicy tangy grilled salmon with a side of rice and a simple vegetable stir-fry.
