Barbequed Salmon with a Spicy Sesame-Soy Glaze
This is an insanely easy dish that really tastes like you got in (an expensive) restaurant. Also, this was our first BBQ of the year! My parents and I had salmon, Mike had a steak (he hates fish!). I gave mike a taste of my salmon and he said it was “okay”; I take that as a win!

Description
This simple dish tastes like you got it in a restaurant. Its sweet and salty with smoke from the grill and comes together in minutes:)
Ingredients
2 tbsp dijon mustard
3 tbsp dark brown sugar
2 tbsp sodium reduced soy sauce
10 dashes sesame oil
½ tsp sesame seeds, toasted
4 3.5 oz Salmon fillets
Cooking spray
Salt
Pepper
Instructions
Combine the mustard, sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil; mix well and then set aside.
Place the sesame seeds in a small pan, toast over low heat until they are slightly darker.
Spray your grill before you turn the heat on.
Preheat your grill to 375 (or medium-high).
Wash and pat your salmon fillets dry with a clean paper towel.
Then spray both sides of each fillet with the cooking spray and season lightly with the salt and pepper.
Evenly divide your soy glaze into two separate bowls and set one bowl aside.
Evenly coat each side of the salmon fillet with the glaze. Discard this bowl after all of the fillets are glazed (it’s contaminated).
Grill the salmon fillets for 4 minutes on the first side and then flip it over.
Using the second bowl of glaze, liberally glaze the cooked side of the salmon, the side now facing up.
Grill the salmon on the second side for 3 minutes.
Take the salmon off the grill and top with the sesame seeds.
Serve immediately.
Notes
- The rule for barbequing salmon is to cook it for 7 minutes per inch of thickness, adjust cooking time as necessary.
