Ingredients

Salmon Ingredients

1 Salmon filet
1.5 tbsp All purpose rub
1.5 tbsp Maple bourbon rub
1 Orange
2 Limes

Chili Glaze Ingredients

1/2 cup Soy sauce
1/2 cup Honey
3 tbsp Rice vinegar
1 tbsp Chili crunch
1 tbsp Ginger paste
1/2 tbsp Maple bourbon rub
1 Orange - freshly squeezed juice and zest
1 Lime - freshly squeezed juice and zest

Instructions

Start by trimming the salmon filet to make it even.
Season the entire salmon filet with an All Purpose and Maple Bourbon rub.
Preheat the grill to a medium heat around 375 degrees Fahrenheit and set it for indirect heat. For an extra hint of smokiness, I added a wood chunk on top of the charcoal.
Cut up an orange and limes to make a bed of citrus for the fish right on the grill.
Place the seasoned salmon filet on the citrus and grill until the internal temperature reads 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the salmon is cooking, make the glaze. In a saucepan, add soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, freshly squeezed orange and lime juice, zest from the orange and lime, chili crunch, ginger paste and maple bourbon rub.
Mix the sauce ingredients together and simmer over low heat until the sauce reduces by half. It will thicken slightly but will still be runny.
Brush the chili glaze on top of the citrus salmon and continue to grill until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
Remove the chili glazed citrus salmon from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Before serving this delicious chili glazed citrus salmon, touch up the top with a few more brushes of the chili glaze. Add fresh orange and lime zest for color and freshness. Enjoy!

Notes

For individual servings use pre-cut salmon strips instead of a whole filet.
Save the trimmed off salmon pieces for fish tacos or grilled salmon bites. Also great for a fish dip.
If you want more heat, slowly add more chili crunch as the sauce thickens.
