    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.
