Salmon is an easy, quick, and healthy weeknight go-to in our house. It's one of our favorite things to make in our grill pan, and now that it's finally grilling season again, we will likely be moving this recipe outside next time!
Because we both love salmon (and really pretty much all fish), we are always looking for new recipes. This one came about because I really wanted to have salad with ginger dressing for dinner and needed something to go with it. We served our fish on some organic jasmine rice, with the salad on the side.
Salmon Marinade Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger*
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
4 green onions, thinly sliced (reserve 1 green onion for topping)
4 salmon filets
Honey Glaze Ingredients
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha, (optional - we didn't use it)
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger*
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
(*Note: much better with fresh ginger, but you can use powdered if you don't have access to fresh)
Instructions
- To make the glaze, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, ginger and sesame seeds in a small bowl; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds and green onions.
- In a large Ziploc bag combine marinade and salmon filets; marinate for at least 30 minutes to overnight, turning the bag occasionally We did about 30 minutes and it was great.
- Heat a grill pan on medium low. Cook the Salmon about 3 minutes on either side, or until fish flakes easily (cooking time depends on the thickness of the piece....our cooked about 7 minutes total). You can also use a BBQ grill.
- When fish is done, brush with honey glaze
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
