Grilled Salmon With Chili-Lime Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

For The Salmon
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/4 lbs salmon fillets
For The Sauce
1/4 cup fish sauce
3 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce
1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion

Preparation

To marinate the fish, combine the oil, ginger, garlic, shallots, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a medium bowl; stir until sugar is dissolved and everything is mixed well.
Place the salmon fillets in the bowl and turn to coat with the marinade (or put the salmon in a zip lock bag, add the marinade, squeeze out air, and seal).
Cover and set aside for 20 to 30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
To prepare the sauce, combine all ingredients listed for the sauce in a small bowl; stir to dissolve the sugar and mix everything well.
To cook the fish, build a hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
Place the fish carefully on the grill for about 5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fish and how well you like it done.
Transfer to a serving platter alongside the Chili-Lime Sauce and serve hot or warm.
Note: To bake in the oven, preheat oven to 375F and bake for about 15 minutes.
