Garlic Chili BBQ Salmon
Ingredients
  • 3 pounds whole salmon, cleaned
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chile sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger root
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 lime, zested
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 green onions, chopped
Instructions
1
Get your outdoor grill ready for intense heat by giving it a thorough cleaning and preparation.
2
Remove the salmon's tail and fins, taking care to preserve its natural shape. Create several shallow incisions across the salmon's skin, allowing flavors to penetrate deeply.
3
Place the salmon on three substantial sheets of aluminum foil that overlap slightly, ensuring even coverage.
4
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, chile sauce, ginger, and garlic to create a harmonious blend of flavors. Introduce lime juice, lime zest, and brown sugar to the mixture, stirring until well incorporated.
5
Pour the sauce over the salmon, coating it evenly and infusing it with a rich aroma.
6
Fold the foil over the salmon, securing it tightly to prevent any escape of flavors during cooking.
7
Seal the edges of the foil by crimping them firmly, creating a tight seal that will allow the salmon to cook evenly.
8
If utilizing hot coals, relocate them to one side of the grill, creating a barrier between the salmon and direct heat. Position the fish on the opposite side of the grill, away from the coals, and close the lid to trap heat inside.
9
If using a gas grill, place the fish on one side and extinguish the flames directly underneath it, creating a gap between the salmon and direct heat. Close the lid to maintain a controlled environment.
10
Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
11
Transfer the fish to a serving platter, pouring any accumulated juices from the foil over the top of the salmon. Sprinkle with green onions to add a pop of color and freshness.
