- ¼ cup good-quality maple syrup tips & tricks
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- 3 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce

- ½ tbsp. sambal oelek
- 2 large cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 tbsp. ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds, for garnish tips & tricks

Directions
- In a measuring cup, combine canola oil, maple syrup, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sambal oelek, garlic, and ginger; whisk until well blended.
- Place salmon steaks in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over, close the bag, and gently toss to coat the fish. Place the bag on a plate and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
- Remove from the fridge and place salmon steaks on a plate. Let them sit for 20 minutes.
- Transfer the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and keep it warm until needed.
- Preheat BBQ between 450ºF and 500ºF; generously grease the grates with canola oil.
- When the temperature is reached, place salmon steaks on prepared grates and, depending on the thickness, grill 4 to 6 minutes on the first side. Flip and grill them 3 to 5 minutes more, basting with warm marinade, or until the internal temperature reads 130ºF for medium-rare or 140ºF for fully cooked.
- Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving with rice and vegetables. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced onions.
