Combine first 8 ingredients in a large heavy-duty, zip-top plastic bag; add salmon. Seal bag, and marinate salmon in refrigerator for 2 hours, turning bag occasionally. Remove salmon from marinade, reserving marinade. Place marinade in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and set aside.
Coat grill rack with cooking spray; place on grill over medium-hot coals (350º to 400º). Place salmon on rack; grill, uncovered, 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, basting frequently with reserved marinade.
Combine mayonnaise and next 3 ingredients, stirring well. Top each salmon steak with 1 tablespoon mayonnaise mixture. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.

Fun Facts / Cooking Tips

Salmon, or sometimes knows as trout, are high in protein, vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon is a unique species of fish as it is anadromous. They will migrate from fresh water to ocean (1-3 years after hatching), and then back to fresh water again to reproduce when they become sexually mature after living 1-5 years in the ocean.
