  • 1 inch piece of ginger, microplaned

  3. Add the salmon chunks and carefully coat with marinade. Marinate at least 15 minutes.
  4. Skewer the salmon onto bamboo skewers and grill on an outdoor or indoor grill pan for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently and basting with remaining marinade.
  5. Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan, if desired and sprinkle over salmon and serve.
