Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets with or without skin
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1/3 cup brown sugar + a little extra for sprinkling
- 4 inch piece fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon oil for frying (vegetable, peanut, or coconut)
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Place the salmon in baking dish with the soy sauce, liquid smoke, and brown sugar. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour—but you could marinate overnight. Flip once. When ready to use, preheat the grill or an iron skillet to high heat.
- Peel the ginger and cut into thin (julienne) strips. Heat a small skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. When the oil is hot, drop the ginger in and pan-fry for 1-2 minutes, moving with a spatula, until they are light brown. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt.
- Carefully brush the grill with vegetable oil. (You could also use grill spray.) Pepper the salmon and place it on the grill, top-side-down. Cook 3 minutes. Flip, then carefully sprinkle the tops with a little extra brown sugar and grill for another 3-5 minutes—until just cooked through. Serve warm with fried ginger on top.
