¹⁄₂ cup soy sauce
¹⁄₂ cup rice vinegar
2 -3 cloves garlic, to your taste,minced
2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted

directions

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, ginger, sesame seeds and lemon pepper.
Pour over the salmon in a shallow glass dish.
Cover and let marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Before preparing a hot fire, spray grill grate with non-stick cooking spray.
Grill the salmon, flesh side down first, directly on the grill grate, for about 5 minutes.
Using both a wide metal fish spatula and a grill spatula, carefully turn the fillet over onto the skin side and grill for another 5 minutes, until a milky juice appears on top of the thickest part of the fillet.
Serve immediately, sprinkled with the black sesame seeds.

I love salmon and this recipe provided truly fantastic flavour and ease of preparation. The cooking time was right on the money. Thanks Judy - this one's a real winner.

Great salmon! Loved the flavors in the marinade. I boiled the marinade down while the salmon was grilling, and served it over the top. I only marinated 30 minutes because I think longer in an acid marinade starts to "cook" the fish and toughen it.

Well, I can't believe I posted a pic but never reviewed this! This was a wonderful salmon recipe--very easy, especially since I broiled this instead of grilling it. I served this with sechuan green beans on the side--wonderful! Thanks for posting (and sorry for the late review!)

Excellent salmon and so easy to prepare! We used the broiler to cook the fish instead of grilling. We served this with baked potatoes and tomato salad with feta and olives recipe#69784 for a wonderful Friday night supper. Thanks for sharing -- we will be making salmon this way often.
