I originally posted this recipe June 16, 2007. In a lot of ways, my cooking habits and eating habits have changed a lot. But in other ways, they have stayed the same. This Soy Ginger Salmon is one instance where everything has stayed just the same. Since the day I made this salmon recipe back in 2007, I fell in love. And this still stands as probably my favorite salmon recipe to date.

MY LATEST RECIPES

One thing that has remained the same all these years is my love for simple recipes. And it really doesn’t get any simpler than this one. A few ingredients. Some time to marinate in the fridge. And then a quick broil. That’s really all it takes.

I often hear from people who never cook fish at home that they are intimidated by cooking fish. I will tell you this, though – in my humble opinion, cooking fish is way easier than cooking chicken. And not only is it easier, but it’s way faster. So if you are someone that is intimidated by cooking fish at home, you must give this Soy Ginger Salmon a try. You will be amazed at just how easy it is!

And don’t worry – if you are looking for the Sesame Green Beans that were originally posted with this salmon recipe, I will be reposting it this week!

Soy Ginger Salmon

A simple recipe for Soy Ginger Salmon that is bursting with flavor. A few ingredients combine to make the most flavorful marinade. This is a salmon recipe anyone could make!

• Author: Deborah
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 8 mins
• Total Time: 18 mins + overnight
• Yield: 4 servings
• Category: Main Dish

Ingredients

• 1 lb salmon filets
• 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, minced
• 1/3 cup orange juice

Instructions

Rub the salmon with 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar.  Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the lemon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic powder.  Rub the seasoning into the fish.

Combine the soy sauce and olive oil in a small saucepan. Stir in the remaining brown sugar, lemon pepper and garlic powder, as well as the ginger.  Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer.  Let the mixture simmer until the sugar has dissolved.  Remove from the heat and stir in the orange juice.

Place the fish and the marinade in a large ziplock bag.  Refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours.

Line a baking sheet with foil.  Preheat the broiler. Place the fish on the baking sheet, reserving the marinade.

Broil the fish for 2 minutes, then baste with the reserved marinade, then broil for 2 additional minutes.  Turn the fish over and broil until the fish flakes easily, about 4 more minutes.  Watch the salmon carefully while broiling, as the marinade on the baking sheet can start to smoke because of the sugar.

Remove the fish from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
