Trim the thin end pieces and fin from the salmon fillet to ensure even cooking.

Season the salmon with maple bourbon seasoning and all-purpose seasoning, patting it in evenly.

Prepare citrus slices from oranges and limes to place on the grill grates for flavor.

Make a sauce by mixing half a cup of soy sauce, half a cup of honey, 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of ginger paste, 1 tablespoon of chili oil crunch, juice from one orange, and juice from one lime in a small saucepan.

Whisk the sauce ingredients together and set aside to reduce on the grill later.

Preheat the gas grill to medium heat (around 350 to 375 degrees).

Place the citrus slices on the grill grates and lay the seasoned salmon on top of the slices.

Cook the salmon on the grill, using indirect heat between the burners, until done.
