    Ingredients

    • 4 Faroe Island Salmon fillets (6 oz each)

    • 3 tbsp Sambal Oelek chili sauce

    • 2 tbsp soy sauce

    • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar

    • 3 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

    • 2 tbsp lime juice

    • 2 tbsp olive oil

    • salt & pepper, to taste

    • fresh herbs to garnish (cilantro or parsely, perhaps)

    • optional: 1 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish

    Directions

    • Prepare the glaze: In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons Sambal Oelek, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Stir well until the ingredients are fully mixed.

    • Marinate the salmon: Lightly coat the salmon fillets with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Brush each fillet with a generous amount of the glaze and let them marinate for 15-30 minutes.

    • Grill the salmon: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets over, brush more glaze on the top, and grill for another 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your preference.

    • Garnish and Serve: Once the salmon is off the grill, apply the remaining glaze for an extra layer of flavor. Garnish with fresh herbs and, if desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds. The salmon can be served alongside steamed rice, a fresh green salad, or your choice of vegetables.
