SALMON FILLETS GLAZED WITH GINGER, LIME AND SOY
Steps:
- Mix marinade ingredients. Place fillet(s) in plastic sealable bag and pour marinade over, turning to coat. Let marinate 30 minutes at room temperature or 1 hour in the refrigerator, turning the fish once or twice to distribute the marinade evenly. Prepare a grill. Drain fish, reserving marinade. Place fillets on grill over indirect high heat and cover. Baste occasionally with the marinade. Do NOT turn the salmon fillets. When they are done, the fillets will lift easily from the skin. Approximately 5-6 minutes/1/2" inch of fillet or steak.
GINGER LIME GLAZED SALMON
A delicious glaze for salmon. It's not necessary to marinate in advance. This makes a modest amount of sauce/glaze. Should you desire more to serve over rice, increase the amounts but add after removing the fillets from the pan.

Steps:
- Grind together the ginger, chile pepper, garlic and sugar in a mortar and pestle to get a coarse paste. Transfer paste to a bowl and add fish sauce, lime juice, Sriracha and water; mix to combine. Season with salt; set aside. (This may be done in a small food processor bowl or blender.) This sauce will be divided.
- Dry with paper toweling and season salmon with salt. Pour over the fillets 4 tablespoons sauce, turning to coat. Set aside the remaining sauce.
- Heat oil in a non-stick skillet. When hot, add the salmon fillets and the sauce used for coating; cook over moderate heat. (Don't add more otherwise you will 'boil' the fillets instead of glazing.) Turn fillets over so that both sides are cooked, scooping glaze over top. Continue to cook until it carmelizes, coating the salmon. Remove the fillets then immediately add to the hot pan the reserved sauce mixture, simmering until it becomes golden and thick. Pour over reserved fillets.
- Serve with white or jasmine rice.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh ginger and lime zest. - If you don't have a microplane grater, you can mince the ginger and lime zest with a sharp knife. - Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as it will become dry and tough. - If you are using a food processor to make the glaze, be sure to pulse it only until the ingredients are combined. Over-processing will make the glaze too thick. - You can also make the glaze in a blender by combining all of the ingredients and blending until smooth. - If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to spread the glaze on the salmon. - For a more caramelized glaze, broil the salmon for the last few minutes of cooking. - Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.Conclusion:
This ginger lime glazed salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The glaze is flavorful and tangy, and the salmon is cooked to perfection. This recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
