Fast Salmon with a Ginger Glaze

4 (8 ounce) fresh salmon fillets

salt to taste

⅓ cup cold water

¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon hot chile paste (such as sambal oelek)

1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon soy sauce

¼ cup chopped fresh basil

Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Season salmon fillets with salt.

Place salmon on the preheated grill; cook salmon for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Combine water, rice vinegar, brown sugar, chile paste, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until barely thickened, about 2 minutes.

Sprinkle basil on top of salmon; spoon glaze over basil.
