Soy Ginger Salmon
Description
Salmon is marinated in soy sauce, brown sugar, orange juice, spices, and fresh ginger, then broiled — my friends and family rave about the recipe.
Ingredients
•
1 pound salmon fillets
•
1/3 cup brown sugar, divided
•
2 teaspoons lemon pepper, divided
•
1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
•
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced
•
1/3 cup orange juice
Directions
1
Rub salmon fillets with about 1 tablespoon brown sugar; lightly season with lemon pepper and garlic powder, then rub into fillets.
2
Combine soy sauce and olive oil in a small saucepan set over medium heat; stir in ginger and remaining each brown sugar, lemon pepper, and garlic powder. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly until brown sugar has dissolved. Off heat, stir in orange juice.
3
Pour soy marinade into a resealable plastic bag; add salmon fillets, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 3 hours to overnight.
4
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
5
Remove salmon fillets from marinade and shake off excess; place fillets on an aluminum foil-lined baking pan. Reserve marinade.
6
Broil in the preheated broiler, skin-sides up, 2 minutes. Remove from oven, remove skins from fillets using tongs. Baste fillets with reserved marinade; broil 2 minutes more. Flip fillets; broil until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes more. Let sit before serving, 5 minutes.
