Ingredients

4 (8 ounce) fresh salmon fillets

⅓ cup cold water
¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger

1 teaspoon soy sauce

Steps:

Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Season salmon fillets with salt.
Place salmon on the preheated grill; cook salmon for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Combine water, rice vinegar, brown sugar, chile paste, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until barely thickened, about 2 minutes.
Sprinkle basil on top of salmon; spoon glaze over basil.
