A delectable marinated salmon dish is an exceptional culinary experience bursting with tantalizing flavors. The key to creating this delightful meal lies in properly marinating the salmon to ensure maximum taste infusion and moistness. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
– 1 lb fresh salmon fillets, cut into portions (skin removed if preferred)
– 3 tbsp olive oil
– 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
– 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
– 2 tbsp brown sugar
– 1 tbsp honey or agave syrup
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 inch ginger root, grated
– 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill or cilantro)
– To taste: Salt and black pepper
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey or agave syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, smoked paprika, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to make the marinade.
2. Place salmon portions in a shallow dish or zip-lock bag and pour the prepared marinade over them. Make sure all surfaces are covered.
3. Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes to 2 hours, depending on desired intensity of flavors. Flip the fish halfway through marination time if using a shallow dish.
4. Preheat your oven or grill according to your preferred cooking method. If baking in the oven, set the temperature to 375°F (190°C).
5. Remove salmon from marinade and shake off excess liquid. Place fillets on a lined baking sheet or grilling tray.
6. Cook salmon for about 8-12 minutes for a 1-inch thick fillet, depending on desired doneness. Check with a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached before serving. If grilling, cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side until desired doneness is achieved.
7. Serve the marinated salmon as your main course or alongside a healthy salad and vegetables for a nutritious meal. Enjoy!
