Instructions

Add the soy sauce, honey, sambal oelek, rice vinegar, and ginger (if using) to a plastic bag or shallow baking dish. Whisk to combine. Add salmon filets and coat in the marinade. Marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, flipping the salmon to coat again halfway through marinating.
When you're ready to grill, turn half of the grill on a high heat and the other half on medium-high. Be sure the grill is clean. Brush grates of the grill with canola oil to prevent the salmon from sticking. You can also wet a paper towel with canola oil and quickly oil the grates.
Let all excess marinade drip off the salmon. Season with the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the salmon to the hot part of the grill, skin side down. Grill for 6-7 minutes until the salmon easily removes from the grates. Flip and move the salmon to the cooler side (skin side up) to finish cooking. Continue to grill until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. If you're unsure when the salmon is done, use an instant-read thermomtor. Pull the salmon off when a thermomter reaches 125 degrees - this will be just under medium.
While the salmon grills, add the remaining marinade to a saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 4-5 minutes. When the salmon is about a minute from finishing, brush with marinade. Remove the salmon from the grill, cover and let it rest for 3-4 minutes before serving.
Serve with orzo or your favorite side.
