Fast Salmon with a Ginger Glaze

Ingredients

• 4 (8 ounce) fresh salmon fillets
• Salt to taste
• 1/3 cup cold water
• 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
• 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

Directions

Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Season salmon fillets with salt.

Place salmon on the preheated grill; cook salmon for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Combine water, rice vinegar, brown sugar, chile paste, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until barely thickened, about 2 minutes.

Sprinkle basil on top of salmon; spoon glaze over basil.
