Broiled Asian Salmon with Scallions and Sesame Recipe
Current rating: 4.5
This is a delicious and flavorful dish. I'm always looking for new and innovative ways to cook salmon. This is a spicy take on the traditional teriyaki salmon, and the plating is beautiful. Given that it is a minor variation of a Bon Appetit recipe, it is also remarkably easy.

Ingredients
- 6 8oz salmon fillets
- 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves
- 5 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 3 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 2 bunches scallions
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 thinly sliced Fresno or Jalapeno pepper
Directions
- Whisk garlic, lime juice, soy, 1 Tbsp vegetable oil, honey and sesame seeds together in a small bowl.
- Season the salmon with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and put in a zip lock back. Pour the marinade from the bowl into the bag, squeeze out air, zip, and squeeze to coat the salmon with the marinade. Let sit for 30 minutes.
- Preheat broiler. Toss scallions with 1 Tbsp vegetable oil on a broiling pan and broil about 4 minutes until lightly charred. Remove salmon from marinade and place on top of the charred scallions, pouring over about 2/3 of the remaining marinade in the bag.
- Broil until the salmon is charred around the edges, about 7 minutes (watch closely). Add the sliced pepper and spoon over the remaining marinade and broil until the salmon is medium rare in its thickest parts, about 2-3 more minutes.
- Remove from broiler, sprinkle with a few additional sesame seeds, and serve.
