Grilled Salmon Steaks //Asian Style

 

 

 

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon steaks (about 6 ounces each)
• 1 cup cucumber, diced
• 3 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce ( or oyster sauce)
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients except, salmon steaks, black pepper, and sesame oil, in a medium mixing bowl for make relish. Let mixture sit for 1 hour at room temperature. Preheat grill. Brush salmon steaks with oil and season with salt and black pepper. Grill steaks on direct high heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from grill and top with relish.

**Tip.. I set steaks skin side down diagonal (2 o'clock) for 2-3 minutes, then rotate (same side down to 10 o'clock... gives the crisscrossed grill marks..).. and then do the same for the other side..

**Tip.. Use a GOOD spatula, and NOT tongs, to avoid it falling apart.

**Tip.. Used a oiled rag on grill to oil the grill first, and help keep salmon from sticking and coming apart on ya
