Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 0.33 cup Peanut butter
• 0.25 cup Coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional, for heat)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to create the marinade.

Step 2

Cut each salmon fillet into thick strips (about 1 inch wide), and add these strips to the marinade. Toss gently to coat and let marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the salmon marinates, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together peanut butter, coconut milk, brown sugar, and sriracha (if using). Add water to thin the sauce slightly and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Thread the marinated salmon strips onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring the salmon is secure but not overcrowded.

Step 6

Grill the salmon skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and slightly charred at the edges.

Step 7

Remove the salmon satay from the grill and place on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds if desired.

Step 8

Serve the salmon satay warm with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
