Best 3 Asian Ginger Poached Salmon Recipes

GINGER POACHED SALMON WITH LIME BASIL CREAM

Steps:

• Halve 1 lime and squeeze the juice into a large straight sided skillet or pot with a lid. Add 6 cups water, the squeezed lime halves, ginger, and peppercorns and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes to infuse the water with flavor; reduce heat to lowest setting, carefully slide salmon into the water, cover, and poach until fish is just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the fish with a slotted spoon and cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Add about 1/2 cup poaching liquid to the container to keep the fish moist and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, zest the remaining lime and add about 1/2 teaspoon zest to the bowl of a food processor; add the juice from half the lime to the bowl (should be about 1 teaspoon juice). Add the basil leaves, a pinch of salt and a few grinds black pepper and pulse until it begins to turn into a paste. Add the creme fraiche and puree until very smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve, plate the cold salmon with a drizzle of lime basil cream over the top.

SESAME GINGER SALMON

Steps:

• 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 gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine ginger marinade and salmon filets; marinate for at least 30 minutes to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Place salmon filets along with the marinade onto prepared baking dish and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Serve salmon immediately with honey ginger glaze.

ORANGE GINGER SALMON RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together honey and hot water until the honey dissolves. Add the ginger, garlic, orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and ½ teaspoon salt, and whisk to combine.
• Arrange the salmon fillets in a 10-cup FoodSaver Preserve and Marinate Container. Pour most of the marinade over the salmon, reserving about ½ cup. Place the lid on the container. Turn the valve so the arrow points to the Marinate/Open position.
• On the FoodSaver vacuum sealer, turn the latch to the Operate position and pull the Built-in Handheld Sealer from the appliance. Remove the liquid reservoir from the Handheld Sealer and insert the tip into the port on the container lid.
• Press the Mode button on the vacuum sealer until the indicator light next to Marinate is illuminated. Press the Handheld button to marinate. The marinating process will start automatically and will take 12 minutes.
• While the salmon is marinating, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Use tongs to remove the salmon from the container and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the salmon with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Discard the salmon marinating liquid.
• Roast the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until it flakes easily when nudged with a fork.
• While the salmon roasts, pour the reserved ½ cup marinade into a small pot and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer until sauce reduces and thickens slightly, about 5-6 minutes. Once it has reduced, remove the pot from the heat.
• Spoon the sauce over the salmon, then garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve with steamed rice and broccoli.
• Save any leftover salmon in a Preserve and Marinate Container on the Preserve mode.
• Enjoy!
