(submitted to zwt3 pacific northwest where salmon and asian flavors abound)."

Steps

For even cooking , choose salmon fillets that are similar in size and thickness.
We like to buy a large piece and cut fillets about 2-inches wide , 6-inches long and about 1-inch thick at the midpoint.
In a small saucepan , combine soy sauce , sherry and sugar and heat over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
Stir in ginger and garlic.
Place salmon in a glass casserole or plastic , resealable bag.
Pour marinade evenly over each piece of salmon.
Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours or at room temperature for 30 minutes.
(if marinating in the refrigerator , allow fish to come to room temperature- about 15 minutes - before cooking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and transfer to a plate.
Pour marinade in a saucepan and reheat to boiling.
Lightly brush oil on both sides of each piece of fish.
Grill fish flesh side down first , about 6 minutes , basting with marinade.
Turn and grill skin side , basting again.
Fish that is 1-inch thick should only take 10-12 minutes.
