2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
Preparation Process:
1. Prep the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Heat the Griddle: Heat your blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.
3. Sear the Salmon: Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and place them on the hot griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
4. Make the Sauce: While the salmon is cooking, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl.
5. Glaze the Salmon: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the griddle and set it aside. Pour the sauce over the salmon and let it glaze for a few minutes.
6. Serve: Garnish the salmon with green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
