Best Thai Barbecued Salmon Recipes

GRILLED THAI SALMON

Steps:

• Pre heat the oven grill.
• Prepare the coconut rice according to RecipeTin Eats instructions and set aside. Also prepare the steamed vegetables if using.
• Line a baking tray with foil or parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tbsp (15ml) of the oil and set the salmon skin side down on the tray. You can place the whole salmon on the tray or divide the whole salmon fillet into 8 equal parts if that is no already done and lay them on the tray allowing enough space in between the fillets.
• In a medium sized bowl, combine the sriracha, fish sauce, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, bird's eye chilies (optional), ground coriander, ground cumin, brown sugar, remaining vegetable oil and the juice of one lime. Mix to thoroughly combine and pour most of the mixture all over the salmon fillets (reserving about ¼ of it for serving later). Spread the mixture all over the salmon to ensure equal distribution.
• Place the baking tray in the middle of the oven and leave to grill for approximately 12-15 minutes, until the brown sugar caramelizes.
• Remove from the oven, garnish with spring onion and cilantro (coriander). Divide the remaining two limes into quarters, making 8 quarters each and serve grilled salmon immediately with one quarter of lime per person, one serving of salmon, coconut rice and steamed vegetables (if serving). Use the remaining grill mix to serve for those who may need a little more drizzling!

BROILED SALMON WITH THAI SWEET CHILI GLAZE

Steps:

• Set the oven rack 5-6 inches from the top and preheat the broiler.
• Make the marinade by combining the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and ginger in a shallow baking dish. Spoon ¼ cup of the marinade into a small dish and set aside (this will be the sauce for the cooked fish). Add the salmon fillets, skin side up, to the remaining marinade and marinate for 1 hour in refrigerator.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the salmon fillets to the prepared baking sheet, skin side down, and drizzle a bit of the marinade over top. Go easy -- you don't want it to pool too much on the baking sheet because it will burn in the oven. Broil the salmon for 6-10 minutes, or until browned in spots and almost opaque in the center. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter and pour the reserved sauce over top. Garnish with scallions and serve.

THAI SALMON IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. To make the sauce, whisk together chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic, fish sauce, ginger, lime juice and Sriracha in a small bowl; set aside. Place salmon onto prepared baking sheet and fold up all 4 sides of the foil. Spoon the chili sauce mixture over the salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon, covering completely and sealing the packet closed. Place into oven and bake until cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with peanuts and cilantro, if desired.

EASY GRILLED THAI SALMON

Steps:

• 1. MAKE MARINADE: Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl.

• 3. HEAT UP THE GRILL: Prepare the grill by brushing with a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
• 4. MAKE COCONUT SAMBAL: Stir all the sauce ingredients together in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Taste-test for salt and sweetness. Add more fish or soy sauce if not salty enough, more sugar if too sour, add more chili if not spicy enough. If too spicy, add more coconut milk. Set aside.
• 5. GRILL THE SALMON: Allow it to cook at least 2 minutes before turning. Baste with some of the left-over marinade. Salmon is cooked when light pink in color. Do not overcook !
• 6. Serve the grilled salmon with plain white rice and Coconut Sambal on the side.
