Roast Salmon is my go- to recipe when I am looking for an easy, quick and flavorful dinner pick. This buttery, flakey and tender fish is one of the most nutritious foods, loaded with antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids and B vitamins.
This recipe has an Asian twist to it, with two dominant flavors: ginger and soy sauce.
Recipe:
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4 Persons
Recipe Created by: Elissar Kurban
Ingredients:
Either 4 individual salmon pieces or 1 large piece
4 tbsp freshly grated ginger
4 tbsp honey
½ cup soy sauce
½ lemon juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
Green vegetable–asparagus or spinach are good accompaniments
Instructions:
Liquify 4 tbsp honey in a small mixing bowl (I just pop in microwave for 15 seconds)
Add 4 tbsp freshly grated ginger ( I use a garlic grater–works a treat!)
Add soy sauce to cover the honey and ginger–some will prefer less, some more–can be quite salty
Add juice of half a lemon
Stir until all ingredients have dissolved and coat/marinate the salmon for at least 2 hrs or overnight in fridge–leave at ¼ of the marinade to use during baking and to add before serving if desired
Bake (and grill towards the end) on 400 F for 35-45 minutes depending on thickness; top up with marinade as needed during the cooking
Serve with roasted asparagus or your choice of greens and add marinade as desired
Wine Pairing:
