Notes

• Salmon Selection: Opt for high-quality salmon fillets with skin-on for the best results. Wild-caught salmon is known for its exceptional flavor and texture.
• Marinating Marvel: Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavors. However, avoid marinating for too long, as the acids in the marinade can start breaking down the delicate flesh.
• Grilling Temperature: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C) for that perfect sear. This ensures a beautiful caramelized exterior while keeping the inside moist.
• Grilling Time: Grilling times may vary based on the thickness of the fillets. Aim for about 4-5 minutes per side, but always test with a fork to ensure the salmon flakes easily.

Cooking Tips

• Quality Matters: Invest in fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture. Look for vibrant color and firm flesh.
• Pat Dry: Before marinating, pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This ensures better adherence of the marinade and a beautiful sear.
• Marinade Penetration: Use a fork to gently pierce the salmon’s surface before marinating. This allows the flavors to penetrate deeper into the flesh.
• Balancing Flavors: Adjust the balance of sweet, savory, and tangy in the marinade to suit your taste. Add a touch more honey for sweetness or lime juice for tanginess.
• Avoid Overcooking: Salmon continues to cook slightly after being removed from the grill due to residual heat. Aim for slightly undercooked when removing from the grill to prevent dryness.
• Flavorful Smoke: Enhance the smoky flavor by using soaked wood chips or aromatic herbs like rosemary or lemongrass on the grill.
• Test for Doneness: The salmon is ready when it flakes easily with a fork. Insert the fork at an angle and gently twist to see if the flakes separate.
• Savor the Skin: If the skin is crispy, it’s a delightful and nutritious part of the dish. Serve the salmon skin-side up for added texture and presentation.

Serving suggestions

• When to Serve: Embrace the versatility of Thai Grilled Salmon by serving it on various occasions. From intimate dinners to vibrant gatherings, this dish is a crowd-pleaser that bridges the gap between casual and sophisticated dining.
• Audience: Designed to delight seafood enthusiasts and those seeking a culinary adventure. It’s equally suitable for impressing guests at a dinner party or treating your loved ones to a special homemade feast.
• Complements and Sides: Pair the salmon with fragrant jasmine rice or quinoa cooked with coconut milk for an extra layer of flavor. Serve alongside a colorful mango and avocado salsa for a burst of freshness and a touch of sweetness. Roasted baby potatoes or garlic-infused mashed potatoes add a comforting element to the plate. Finish with a drizzle of tangy Thai chili sauce for a hint of heat.
• Garnishes and Presentation: Elevate your presentation with a sprinkling of chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or Thai basil. Edible flowers or microgreens can add a pop of color and elegance to the plate. Consider arranging the grilled salmon atop a bed of steamed bok choy for an eye-catching display.
• Beverage Pairings: Complement the dish with a crisp and refreshing Thai-style iced tea, complete with a touch of condensed milk. For those who enjoy wine, a light and fruity rosé or a dry Riesling can enhance the flavors without overwhelming the palate.

FAQs of Thai Grilled Salmon

• Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe? Certainly! Thaw frozen salmon in the refrigerator before marinating and grilling for even cooking and optimal flavor absorption.
• How can I prevent the salmon from sticking to the grill? To prevent sticking, ensure the grill grates are well-oiled before placing the salmon. You can also grill the salmon on a piece of foil or use a grill basket.
• Can I grill the salmon indoors? Absolutely! Use a stovetop grill pan for indoor grilling. Ensure it’s well-oiled to prevent sticking and achieve those attractive grill marks.
