Honey Soy Grilled Salmon

Ingredients:

1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves

2 scallions

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon grated ginger

kosher salt and freshly gound pepper

4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each

2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

2 teaspoons soy sauce

2 teaspoons honey

1/4 teaspoon black sesame seeds

1 1/3 cups cooked edamame

lime wedges, optional garnish

Preparation:

Preheat grill over medium-high direct heat. Oil the grill grates. Finely chop the cilantro and scallion and mix in the oil and ginger. Season with salt and pepper. Cut two 3-inch long slits through the skin lengthwise on the bottom of the salmon fillets, going about halfway into the salmon. Evenly stuff the slits with the herb mixture. Season the fish with salt and pepper.

Stir together the lime juice, soy and honey until smooth. Place the salmon, skin side up, on the grill and cook until well marked, 3-4 minutes. Turn the salmon and continue to cook, brushing the tops with the sauce, until the fish is cooked through, about another 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle the tops with the sesame seeds. Serve with edamame and lime wedges. Recipe obtained from the Food Network.
