Maple Soy Grilled Salmon Steaks
Description
This recipe prepares salmon steaks by marinating them in a mixture of low sodium soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, minced ginger and garlic, and red pepper flakes to impart a layered flavor profile combining sweetness, umami, and gentle spice. After marinating for at least an hour, the salmon is grilled on both sides until cooked through, typically about four minutes per side, while being basted with the remaining marinade to enhance caramelization and moisture.
The grilled salmon is garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, adding texture and fresh herbal notes. The fish remains tender and moist with a lightly glazed surface from the maple-soy mixture. This makes for a satisfying and balanced dish that pairs well with simple vegetable sides or a fresh salad.
Marinating helps deepen flavor while keeping the salmon moist during grilling. The recipe recommends refrigerating leftovers promptly and offers freezing instructions for longer storage.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon steaks
- ¼ cup soy sauce low sodium
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- sesame seeds optional
- green onions chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a shallow dish or a baking dish whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and the pepper flakes. Add salmon to the dish and turn it around to get the glaze all over. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate for at least an hour.
- Grill the salmon on both sides, until salmon is cooked through or to your liking. I left mine about 4 minutes per side. As you're grilling the salmon, brush with remaining glaze on each side.
- Serve garnished with some green onions and sesame seeds, with a side of vegetables or salad.
Notes
- Marinate salmon for at least one hour to develop the flavor.
- Properly store cooked salmon in the fridge within 2 hours, and consume within 3 days.
- For extended storage, wrap in foil and freeze for 2-3 months.
