If you don’t want to invest in a sizzle platter, you can also make this recipe using a rimmed baking sheet.

Ingredients

3 Servings

2

garlic cloves, thinly sliced

3

tablespoons fresh lime juice

2

tablespoons soy sauce

2

teaspoons honey

1

tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

½

teaspoon sesame seeds, plus more for serving

3

8-ounce skin-on center-cut salmon fillets

Kosher salt

1

bunch scallions

1

Fresno chile, thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, 1 Tbsp. oil, and ½ tsp. sesame seeds in a small bowl. Season salmon fillets with salt and place in a resealable plastic bag; add half of marinade. Seal bag, pressing out air, and let salmon sit 30 minutes. Reserve remaining marinade.

    Step 2

    Preheat broiler. Toss scallions with remaining 2 tsp. oil on sizzle platter; broil until lightly charred, about 3 minutes. Remove salmon from marinade and set on top of scallions. Spoon some reserved marinade over and broil until salmon is charred around edges, about 6 minutes (watch closely to keep from burning). Spoon more marinade over; top with chile. Broil until salmon is charred and medium-rare at thickest part, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with more sesame seeds.

  • Is a very good recipe. I am usually a salmon purist - salt-pepper-olive oil-lemon. I wanted to try a sesame blend after having a grilled salmon with "Asian BBQ" marinade and sauce (basically Teriyaki, garlic, honey, lime and vinegar) . Over rice with sauted cabbage and the spicy sauce dribbled. This was a great home recipe for a similar flavor and texture. One question - - What happens to the Fresno Chile?

  • really nice combination of flavors. Keep a close eye on it under the broiler to avoid burning, as the recipe notes!

  • This is by far the best salmon recipe I've ever had. As a rule salmon is not one of my favorite food and I usually give most of it to my husband. Not with this recipe. It's perfect, a touch of sweetness, counter balances the garlic and scallions. I did not use the peppers, but did take another reviewer's idea and added some pnako breadcrubms.

  • Absolutely my favorite Salmon recipe and we have it at least twice a month. I have diverticulitis now so I add Sesame Oil instead of the seeds and it is fabulous! We also decided we wanted just a bit of crunch so we topped it off with a tablespoon or so of Panko crumbs the last minute of broiling. We are having it tonight and it is currently marinading. YUM!

  • The chiles were my favorite part! Don't skimp on the marinade either.

  • Love this salmon!! And so did my whole family. I made the sauce in the a.m. and then it took me 15 mins to cook. This will definitely be my go to salmon. The scallions really complimented it too. Only thing I did different was no peppers.

  • So easy and so delicious! Served with a side of left over quinoa and yesterdays sweet potatoes with cinnamon. Honestly the best weekday dinner I’ve been able to put together in minutes.
