Chili-Garlic Grilled Salmon with Lime pairs rich, flaky fish with a glossy glaze that balances soy saltiness, gentle heat from chile, and bright citrus. Fresh ginger and garlic add aromatic warmth, while brown sugar rounds everything with a subtle caramel note. It’s ideal for a summer cookout or a special weeknight dinner when you want bold flavor without fuss.

1

Heat an outdoor grill to high.
2

Trim the tail and fins from the salmon. Make several shallow cuts across the skin. Set the salmon on 3 large, slightly overlapping sheets of aluminum foil.
3

In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, chile sauce, ginger, and garlic. Stir in the lime juice, lime zest, and brown sugar. Spoon the sauce over the salmon.
4

Fold the foil over the salmon and crimp the edges to seal.
5

If using hot coals, move them to one side of the grill. Place the fish on the side without coals directly underneath and close the lid.
6

If using a gas grill, set the fish on one side and turn off the burners directly under it; close the lid.
7

Cook for 25 to 30 minutes.
8

Transfer to a serving platter and pour any juices collected in the foil over the fish. Sprinkle with green onions.
