ASIAN CITRUS MARINATED SALMON, LOW FAT



Asian Citrus Marinated Salmon, Low Fat image

The Asian-style marinade adds lots of extra flavor and uses both orange & lime juices. Prep time does not include 1-hour marinating time. This was published in our local newspaper and made for lunch today! You might enjoy boiling and thickening the marinade to use as a dipping sauce. I'm also publishing the sides that were suggested - Golden Jeweled Rice and (steamed asparagus with) Citrus Sauce.

GRILLED SALMON WITH ASIAN CITRUS MARINADE image

Categories     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 salmon fillets
3 tsp fresh ginger minced
2 tsp fresh garlic minced
4 1/2 tsp honey
3 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp lime juice
2 tsp orange juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp chili garlic sauce
2 tsp scallions, sliced

Steps:

  • To make marinade, combine ginger, garlic, honey, soy sauce, lemon, lime, orange, olive oil and garlic chili sauce. Mix well. Marinade salmon at least for 1 hour, better overnight. Grill salmon until done. Sprinkle with scallions.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for fresh, wild-caught salmon if possible. Look for firm, evenly colored fillets with no signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Prepare the Marinade: Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, orange zest, lime zest, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade for the salmon.
  • Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate.
  • Preheat the Oven: Before baking the salmon, preheat your oven to the desired temperature specified in the recipe. This ensures the salmon cooks evenly and efficiently.
  • Line the Baking Sheet: Place a parchment paper or aluminum foil on a baking sheet to prevent the salmon from sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Bake the Salmon: Place the marinated salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for the specified time in the recipe. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  • Monitor the Salmon: Keep an eye on the salmon while it bakes to prevent overcooking. Check for doneness by gently inserting a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. It should flake easily when cooked through.
  • Garnish and Serve: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or scallions and a squeeze of lime or lemon juice for added flavor.
