Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Peanut butter (creamy)
• 4 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 stalks Green onions (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Brush the salmon fillets lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill.

Step 4

Grill the salmon fillets skin-side down for 4-5 minutes. Carefully flip and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

Step 5

While the salmon cooks, prepare the peanut hoisin sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together peanut butter, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and water.

Step 6

Simmer the sauce gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the salmon is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Plate each salmon fillet and generously drizzle the warm peanut hoisin sauce over the top.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if using. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a citrusy finish.

Step 10

Enjoy your Grilled Salmon with Peanut Hoisin Sauce!
