A delightful grilled dish featuring a savory teriyaki marinade, perfect for summer gatherings.
Prepare the marinade by combining the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, and sesame oil in a bowl.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Place the salmon fillets or chicken breasts in a zip-lock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight will enhance the flavor penetration into the protein.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Use a paper towel dipped in oil and tongs to grease the grill grates safely.
Remove the salmon or chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork or the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Avoid overcooking to maintain the juiciness of the protein.
Serve the grilled salmon or chicken immediately, garnished with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.
Serve with a side of steamed rice and grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
