An easy light summer bbq dish which is also healthy and delicious!

Marinade:
2 lbs Steelhead fillets
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
3 Tbsp. rice vinegar
3 Tbsp. brown sugar
3 Tbsp. garlic, finely minced
3 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
2-3 Tbsp. ginger, finely minced
1 tsp. five spice powder

Glaze:
¼ cup honey
2 Tbsp. sesame oil
2 tsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. ginger, minced
3-4 Tbsp. scallions, chopped

Combine all the marinade ingredients together in a shallow baking dish and marinate salmon in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.

Whisk together all glaze ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Heat grill to medium/high heat. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly butter the foil.

Lay the filet, skin side down. Brush the glaze over the fish, making sure not to drench it as any sauce that pools on the sides will just burn.

When you're ready to cook, lower the BBQ to medium low and transfer the fish (leaving it on the aluminum foil) to the BBQ. Close the lid and cook for 10-12 minutes, basting it with the sauce throughout. When it is finished the fish should be completely cooked through and the sauce should be browned and bubbly around the edges.

Use the baking sheet to help you transfer the fish back off of the BBQ. Slice into pieces and serve immediately!
