ASIAN SALMON WITH WASABI MAYONNAISE

Give your grilled salmon a touch of Asian flair with a soy marinade. This fish dish pairs perfectly with our easy Wasabi Mayonnaise. Use it as a dip or spread it right on the salmon before serving.

Yield: Serves 6.

ASIAN SALMON WITH WASABI MAYONNAISE

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 lb (1 kg) salmon fillet
  • Wasabi Mayonnaise*

Directions

  1. To prepare marinade, combine soy sauce, lemon juice, oil, sugar and garlic in a heavy zip-lock plastic bag. Add salmon and squeeze bag to coat salmon with marinade; seal bag. Let stand for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat natural gas barbecue on medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes.
  3. Remove salmon from marinade; discard marinade. Place salmon, skin side down, on a piece of heavy-duty foil. Trim foil so it is slightly larger than fillet.
  4. With lid down, cook salmon until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 - 12 minutes per inch of thickness. Serve with Wasabi Mayonnaise.
