Categories     Kosher

Time 14m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
4 teaspoons prepared chinese-style hot mustard or 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
2 (8 ounce) salmon steaks (about 3/4-inch thick)

Steps:

  • Whisk together first three ingredients.
  • Transfer 1 tablespoon glaze to small bowl; mix in rice vinegar and set aside.
  • Brush 1 side of salmon steaks generously with half of glaze in medium bowl and place salmon steaks, glazed side down, onto barbecue.
  • Grill until glaze is slightly charred, about 4 minutes.

  • Turn salmon over and grill until second side is slightly charred and salmon is just opaque in center, about 5 minutes longer.
  • Transfer salmon to plates and drizzle reserved glaze in small bowl over salmon and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has a deep pink color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a pale color, as these will be more likely to overcook.
  • Cook the salmon at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and a tender, flaky interior. The best way to do this is to sear the salmon in a hot skillet or bake it in a preheated oven.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is cooked through, which will take about 5-7 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Use a flavorful glaze: A glaze will help to add flavor and moisture to the salmon. There are many different types of glazes that you can use, such as a honey glaze, a lemon glaze, or a maple glaze.
  • Serve the salmon with a variety of sides: Salmon is a versatile fish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
