The other day we posted our Orzo Radishes and Cucumber Salad made with radishes, cucumbers, and tomatoes in a light champagne vinaigrette and promised to post the grilled sesame ginger salmon as well.

So here it is!

The weather has been warming up here in the South.  And dining al-fresco has been long overdue! This is a very simple recipe for grilled salmon, virtually effortless!  

Depending on how you prefer your salmon steak, rare or well done, could take anywhere from 3 to 6 minutes on the grill.

 

As you marinate the salmon, you can prepare the sides you wish to serve it with.

We highly recommend our Orzo Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette as it compliments the salmon very nicely and it makes a complete dinner. 

Also, adding a mixture of sesame-ginger seasonings to the salmon was a good choice. They gave this salmon their amazing flavors and textures and made this dish a mouth-watering meal.  

 

Grilled Sesame Ginger Salmon makes a delicious seafood meal.  

It’s quick, easy, and very flavorful!  I bet your family will enjoy this recipe for salmon.  Try it and let us know. 

Have a great weekend everyone!  

Enjoy!
