Recipe View 5 mins Prepare the Salmon: Trim the tail and fins from the salmon. Score the skin of the salmon by making shallow diagonal cuts across the flesh. This helps the sauce penetrate and prevents the skin from curling. Lay the salmon on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, or several slightly overlapping sheets. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Serve: Carefully open the foil packet, being mindful of the escaping steam. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter. Pour any accumulated juices from the foil over the top of the fish. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.

For an extra smoky flavor, add a handful of wood chips (such as hickory or applewood) to the coals before grilling.
If you don't have chile garlic sauce, you can substitute with 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic.
To check for doneness, insert a fork into the thickest part of the salmon. If it flakes easily, it's ready.
Leftover grilled salmon is delicious in salads, sandwiches, or tacos.

    I was a bit worried about the salmon drying out on the grill, but the foil packet kept it perfectly moist. Will definitely make this again!

    This recipe is fantastic! The salmon was so flavorful and moist. The chile garlic sauce gives it just the right amount of kick!

  • Elvera Mayert

    Easy to follow and the result was amazing! I added a little sesame oil to the marinade for extra flavor.

  • Marco Kuhlman

    Great recipe! I didn't have fresh ginger, so I used ground ginger. It still turned out delicious.
