Broiled Ginger Salmon

On a starving whim, I picked up salmon from the market and decided to make it ASAP for dinner.  I found a great recipe to prepare the salmon in limited time and it was wonderful. :)  This recipe is very flexible.  Feel free to adjust to the size of your salmon and preferred cooking time.


 

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 inch piece of fresh ginger root, peeled and minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 clove garlic, pressed
  • 1pound whole salmon fillet with skin

Directions

  1. Whisk together the soy sauce, muscovado sugar, minced ginger, olive oil, and garlic in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic zipper bag. Add the salmon fillet, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight or up to 2 days (I marinated for 20 minutes and it was great!).
  2. Turn on oven broiler to preheat and prepare foil to enclose salmon and excess liquid.
  3. Remove the salmon from the marinade, and shake off excess. Pour remaining marinade on top of salmon. Place the salmon, skin side up, onto foil.
  4. Broil until the salmon is opaque but still juicy and slightly browned on top - about 20 minutes.  Make sure to flip salmon once midway through.
