Grilled Salmon With Chili-Lime Sauce image

We just love salmon and really enjoyed this recipe for it, which was adapted from Quick & Easy Vietnamese. You can sub another meaty fish, if you wish, such as tuna or halibut.

Time 30m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 lbs salmon fillets
1/4 cup fish sauce
3 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce
1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion

Steps:

  • To marinate the fish, combine the oil, ginger, garlic, shallots, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a medium bowl; stir until sugar is dissolved and everything is mixed well.
  • Place the salmon fillets in the bowl and turn to coat with the marinade (or put the salmon in a zip lock bag, add the marinade, squeeze out air, and seal).
  • Cover and set aside for 20 to 30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
  • To prepare the sauce, combine all ingredients listed for the sauce in a small bowl; stir to dissolve the sugar and mix everything well.
  • To cook the fish, build a hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
  • Place the fish carefully on the grill for about 5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fish and how well you like it done.
  • Transfer to a serving platter alongside the Chili-Lime Sauce and serve hot or warm.
  • Note: To bake in the oven, preheat oven to 375F and bake for about 15 minutes.
