Instructions

Prepare the marinade: Whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, minced ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a shallow dish until well combined.
Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon steaks in the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the salmon soak up the flavors for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high, allowing it to reach the ideal temperature for grilling the salmon evenly.
Grill the salmon: Place the salmon steaks on the grill and cook for approximately 4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked to your desired doneness. While grilling, brush the salmon with the remaining marinade to enhance the flavor and keep it moist.
Serve: Remove the salmon from the grill and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a fresh, crunchy finish. Serve immediately for best taste.

Notes

For best results, use wild-caught salmon for optimal flavor and texture.
Marinating for at least 1 hour allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the salmon.
Adjust red pepper flakes to control the spice level to your liking.
Make sure the grill is preheated properly to prevent the salmon from sticking.
Brush salmon with marinade during grilling to keep it moist and flavorful, but avoid cross-contamination by not reusing marinade that’s been in contact with raw fish unless boiled first.
Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
