Perfect Grilled Salmon

• porții: 4 servings
• timp total: 40 minutes

Ingrediente

1/8 cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon fish sauce

1/4 teaspoon honey

2 (6- to 8-ounce) skin-on salmon fillet,

1 to 1½ inches thick

.75 teaspoons kosher salt

.25 teaspoon pepper

Instrucțiuni

Stir mayonnaise, fish sauce, and honey together in small bowl. Dry salmon fillets thoroughly with paper towels; refrigerate mayonnaise mixture and fillets while preparing grill. Combine salt and pepper in second small bowl; set aside.

FOR A GAS GRILL: Turn all burners to high; cover; and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Leave all burners on high.

About 5 minutes before grill is heated, use pastry brush to brush skin side of fillets with thin, even coating of mayonnaise mixture. Sprinkle with half of salt mixture. Flip fillets and brush top of flesh side with thin, even coating of mayonnaise mixture (you may not need all of it). Sprinkle flesh side all over with remaining salt mixture.

Clean and oil cooking grate. Place fillets on grill, flesh side down, diagonal to grate. Cook (cover and reduce heat to medium if using gas), without moving fillets, until flesh side is well marked and releases easily from grill, 3 to 5 minutes.

Using tongs and thin spatula, flip fillets to skin side and continue to cook (covered if using gas) until centers are still translucent when checked with tip of paring knife and register 125 degrees (for medium-rare), 3 to 5 minutes longer. Transfer to platter and serve.
