Caramelized Salmon With Soy Orange Glaze Recipes

ORANGE SOY-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Mix orange juice, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and ginger together in a small bowl.
• Place salmon in a shallow dish. Pour all but 3 tablespoons of the orange juice mixture on top. Reserve remaining mixture in the bowl. Let salmon marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Transfer salmon to a baking dish lined with aluminum foil; pat dry with paper towels. Discard marinade. Spoon 1 tablespoon of reserved orange juice mixture over salmon; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 6 minutes. Spoon remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice mixture over salmon. Continue baking until flesh flakes easily with a fork, 6 to 9 minutes more. Serve with lemon wedges.

CARAMELIZED SALMON WITH SOY-ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• Up to 24 hours before serving, place the salmon fillets in a nonreactive pan. In a food processor, combine and finely chop the ginger, peppercorns and cilantro. Roll the salmon fillets in the mixture, cover with plastic wrap or another plate and refrigerate overnight.
• Combine the sugar and pepper on a plate or in a shallow bowl.
• Heat the oil in a skillet.
• Scrape the excess ginger mixture from the fish and discard.
• Press the flesh (top) side of the salmon fillets into the sugar-pepper mixture and sauté them, seasoned side down, to caramelize the sugar, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Quickly, before the sugar burns, pour the soy sauce and orange juice into the pan, swirling and stirring well to dissolve the caramelized bits.
• Turn the salmon skin side down. Lower the heat to medium. Cover the pan and let the salmon finish cooking for 5 to 8 minutes longer, or until it is cooked medium rare.
• Transfer the salmon fillets to a clean towel to drain before serving.

CARAMELIZED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine basil and ginger.
• Coat the salmon fillets with basil/ginger mixture on both sides and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• When ready to cook for serving, combine the soy sauce, orange liqueur, orange rind, and shallot in a bowl; set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Combine the black pepper and sugars in a shallow dish.
• Press one side of the salmon fillets into the mixture, then sauté the fillet, sugar-side-down, to caramelize the sugars, for about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Then quickly pour the soy mixture into the pan before the sugar burns, stirring to dissolve any caramelized bits floating around the pan.
• Turn the fillets over and lower the heat to medium; cover the pan and cook for 5 to 8 minutes longer, until fillets are cooked through (they will be dark pink in the middle).
• Remove fillets from skillet and place on serving platter; melt the butter in the pan then add the Marsala, stirring the bottom with a wooden spatula, and simmer for 3 minutes to deglaze the pan, then pour over the fillets.
• Decorate with orange slices, serve, and enjoy!
