Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 (4-ounce) filets salmon
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 2 tbsp. fish sauce
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 tbsp. thinly sliced green onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3/4 tsp. ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
• 1/8 tsp. salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a bowl, whisk together coconut oil, fish sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, lemon juice, thinly sliced green onions, sesame oil, and salt to make the marinade.
2. Place the salmon filets in a glass dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure to coat each filet evenly. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to infuse into the salmon.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the salmon filets from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Discard the used marinade.
5. Grease the grill grates lightly with some oil to prevent sticking.
6. Place the marinated salmon filets on the preheated grill. Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish becomes tender and easily flakes with a fork. Be sure to turn the filets halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.
7. Once the salmon is fully cooked, remove it from the grill and transfer it to a serving plate.
8. Garnish the grilled salmon with some additional green onions and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.

Serve the delicious grilled salmon alongside your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy this flavorful and healthy dish!
