Ingredients
- 2 pounds salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar

- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure to coat both sides. Marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the fillets on the grill, skin side down.

- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot.
- Enjoy your spicy and flavorful chile-garlic BBQ salmon!
