recipe 6: honey and ginger-glazed salmon

From the Nordstrom Flavors cookbook


This recipe is excellent and I will definitely make it again. YUM!

honey and ginger-glazed salmon

½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
4 skinless salmon fillets
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons honey
1 ½ tablespoons peeled and finely minced ginger
6 green onions, white and light green parts only, finely chopped

Pour the soy sauce into a dish. Add salmon. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove the salmon from the soy sauce and pat dry. Discard the soy sauce.

Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly oil a baking sheet.

Season the salmon with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together the ginger and honey. Evenly spread the honey mixture on the marinated side of the salmon. Evenly sprinkle the green onions over the honey, press to adhere to the salmon.

Heat oil in a large, nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the salmon, green onion side down. Cook until the undersides are seared, about 1½ minutes. Transfer the salmon, onion side up, to the baking sheet. Bake the salmon about 10 minutes, or until it flakes easily.

Transfer to warm plates. Serve immediately.

We had it with boiled potatoes and steamed broccoli.
