How to Make Blackstone Teriyaki Salmon

Ingredients:

4 salmon fillets
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
Sesame seeds for garnish
Green onions for garnish

Directions:

Step 1: Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
Step 2: Marinating

Marinate the salmon fillets in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. For best results, marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Step 3: Preheating

Preheat the Blackstone grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot enough to sear the salmon without sticking.
Step 4: Cooking

Place the marinated salmon on the grill, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Step 5: Finishing

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

How to Serve Blackstone Teriyaki Salmon

Serve your Blackstone Teriyaki Salmon over a bed of steamed rice or alongside grilled vegetables for a complete meal. Don’t forget to drizzle some of the leftover marinade over the salmon for an extra flavor boost. It pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or sautéed greens for a light and healthy option.

How to Store Blackstone Teriyaki Salmon

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over low heat to avoid drying out the salmon. If you want to freeze it, wrap the individual fillets tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

Expert Tips for Perfect Blackstone Teriyaki Salmon

For a more intense flavor, try adding a splash of pineapple juice to the marinade.
If you prefer a thicker glaze, simmer the marinade in a saucepan until it reduces to your desired consistency before using it.
Ensure the grill is properly preheated to achieve those beautiful grill marks and a nice sear on your salmon.

Delicious Variations

You can easily mix up the recipe to suit your taste. Consider adding:

Pineapple Slices: Grill fresh pineapple slices alongside the salmon for a tropical twist.
Asian Vegetables: Grill bell peppers, zucchini, or bok choy for a colorful and nutritious side.
Spicy Kick: Add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the marinade for some heat.
