Directions:

  1. For even cooking, choose salmon fillets that are similar in size and thickness. We like to buy a large piece and cut fillets about 2-inches wide, 6-inches long and about 1-inch thick at the midpoint.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, sherry and sugar and heat over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Stir in ginger and garlic.
  4. Place salmon in a glass casserole or plastic, resealable bag. Pour marinade evenly over each piece of salmon.
  5. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours or at room temperature for 30 minutes. (If marinating in the refrigerator, allow fish to come to room temperature- about 15 minutes - before cooking.
  6. Remove the salmon from the marinade and transfer to a plate.
  7. Pour marinade in a saucepan and reheat to boiling.
  8. Lightly brush oil on both sides of each piece of fish.
  9. Grill fish flesh side down first, about 6 minutes, basting with marinade.
  10. Turn and grill skin side, basting again.
  11. Fish that is 1-inch thick should only take 10-12 minutes to cook.
  12. Check to see if it is fully cooked by inserting a fork or skewer into the thickest part of the fillet. If it is opaque white and the fork meets no resistance than it is fully cooked.
