Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds Fresh salmon fillet, skinless and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 bunches Scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 0.5 cup Soy sauce
  • 0.33 cup Honey
  • 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

  2. 2

    In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a teaspoon of water to create a slurry, then whisk it into the saucepan.

  4. 4

    Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes until it reduces and becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon; set aside half for glazing.

  5. 5

    Thread the salmon cubes and scallion pieces onto the skewers, alternating between the two.

  6. 6

    Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

  7. 7

    Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing generously with the reduction during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat once the salmon is opaque and slightly charred, then drizzle with the remaining reserved sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
