Soy Sesame And Ginger Salmon Recipes

EASY GINGER SESAME SALMON (ASIAN-INSPIRED)

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in small saucepan and whisk to combine.
• Bring pan to a medium high heat and let simmer, reducing heat as needed, while you cook the salmon.
• Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• Pat salmon dry with paper towel.
• In a 12 inch cast iron skillet, drizzle some olive oil around the pan and then sprinkle some salt and pepper (helps keep the skin from sticking) in an even layer.
• Place salmon fillets, skin side down, in the skillet.
• Sprinkle the top of the salmon with additional salt and pepper to lightly season.
• Cook salmon over medium heat 6-8 minutes.
• While the salmon cooks, baste once with a little of the glaze (I suggest pouring about a Tablespoon or two in a little bowl to keep it separate).
• Use a fish spatula to carefully flip the salmon.
• Cook without moving the fillets until the center reaches 125 internal temp, about 6-8 minutes.
• While the salmon cooks skin-side up, baste with a little glaze again, especially if you feel the pan is getting a little dry. Take a basting brush and just brush a little glaze along the edges of the skin and the glaze will fall down and cook into the salmon.
• Transfer fillets to plates and spoon glaze on top, as much as desired, for serving. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional).
• Serve with Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice and Braised Baby Bok Choy.

SOY, SESAME AND GINGER SALMON

Steps:

• Mix together the soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, chilli flakes and ginger in a bowl to make a simple marinade.
• Cut each salmon fillet into 4 equal chunks and place into the marinade. Turn the salmon pieces over a few times to coat them in the marinade and set aside for 5 minutes.
• Place the oil into a large frying pan or wok and heat over a medium-high heat for 1 minute. Place the salmon, skin-side-down, into the hot pan, reserving the marinade for later. (Take care not to get splashed with hot oil!)
• Cook the salmon for 2-3 minutes on each side (top and bottom sides, not all the sides!) and then turn the heat down to medium-low and tip in the leftover marinade. Cook for a further 2 minutes until the marinade has thickened slightly.
• Sprinkle the salmon with a few sesame seeds and some sliced chilli. Serve with rice and steamed green vegetables. I like to put the soy sauce, sesame oil and a few lime quarters on the table for everyone to help themselves to extra.

SHEET-PAN SOY-GINGER SALMON WITH VEGGIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk 1/4 cup green onions, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, pepper flakes and ginger until blended. Pour 1/2 cup marinade into a shallow dish. Add salmon; turn to coat. Refrigerate, covered, 2-3 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade., Preheat oven to 400°. Drain salmon, discarding marinade in dish. Place salmon on a greased rimmed baking sheet. Toss broccoli and zucchini with oil, salt and pepper; arrange in a single layer around salmon. Bake until salmon just begins to flake easily with a fork and vegetables are crisp-tender, 20-25 minutes., Meanwhile, transfer reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half, 10-12 minutes. Serve sauce with salmon, vegetables and rice, if desired. Top with remaining 1/4 cup green onions and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.

SOY GINGER SALMON

Steps:

• Rub salmon with about 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Lightly sprinkle with lemon pepper and garlic powder; rub seasoning into fish.
• Into a small saucepan set over medium heat, pour soy sauce and olive oil. Stir in ginger and remaining brown sugar, lemon pepper, and garlic powder. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, stir in orange juice.
• Place fish and marinade into a resealable plastic bag, seal, and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 3 hours.
• Preheat broiler. Place fish in a foil-lined baking pan. Reserve marinade.
• Broil fish skin-side up, 2 minutes. Remove from oven, pull skin off with tongs. Baste with marinade, return to oven, and broil 2 minutes more. Turn fish, and broil until fish flakes easily, about 4 minutes. Remove from oven, and let sit 5 minutes before serving.
