I have wanted to try an Asian fish recipe for quite some time. Salmon is one of my favorite types of fish so this went together perfectly. The recipe uses Asian flavors such as soy sauce, garlic, ginger and chili sauce. I had worried that the lime zest might be a little overpowering but it turns out it wasn’t at all. It is nearly the perfect combination for fish. You can either bake or grill the salmon. The weather has been pretty nice so I went with the outdoor grill. I served this recipe with fries but white rice will go great as well. Enjoy.

I really like simple and tasty salmon dishes like this!
Looks like a great way to start off the bbq season.
I love salmon and this does look delicious.
Your recipes look absolutely FANTASTIC! Thank you so much for posting all these wonderful recipes. Most of them are my favorites.:)
I made this last night. Honestly, I didn’t think much of the sauce! After the first two bites, I thought the taste is remarkably familiar but I couldn’t place it! Soon later, I realize it taste very close to a chili sauce I love so much from one of the Thai restaurants here! I can’t believe I found this gem!
A nice way to eat salmon. The lime will make the fish feel lighter, as salmon can sometimes be a bit on the fatty side.
Totally love salmon with a sweet, salty glaze. It’s one of the most versatile fish we’ve ever had.
Hi,
I tried this recipe today and loved it.
Thank you for posting this.
Hey. I tried this one last friday and it was not bad. Nice one.
I made this a few nights ago Bobby and it ROCKED. I tricked my girlfriend’s younger brother by telling him it was chicken (he won’t eat fish). Well, as long as he thought it was chicken, he loved it, came for seconds.
Very good but I would cut back on the lime and maybe use half?
Added some red pepper flake for a little extra kick
