Zesty Ginger Chili Salmon

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Ginger Chili Salmon.

1. Step 1

   Imagine the aroma of fresh salmon as you prepare to create a delightful dish! Start by placing your salmon fillets in a large baking dish, ensuring they are in a single layer for even marination. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, lime juice, lemon juice, orange zest, garlic, white sugar, ground ginger, chili powder, red pepper flakes, and salt. This vibrant mixture will be the star of your dish, so make sure it's well combined! Pour this zesty marinade over the salmon, making sure each piece is generously coated. Cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours; this is where the magic happens as the flavors meld together beautifully. When you're ready to cook, preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. Remove the salmon from the marinade, discarding the used marinade to keep things safe and clean. Place the salmon on the preheated grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The grill will give it a lovely char and enhance those delicious flavors! Serve your grilled salmon hot, and enjoy the burst of citrus and spice with every bite!
