One of my goals for 2015 was to make two new recipes each month, which I've been fairly good at keeping up with. One of the recipes I tried in June was this amazing recipe for ginger-garlic salmon, which I've made two more times since! It's a really easy recipe that I can't wait to make again and again! J's pretty happy with whatever I cook, but this has been a huge favorite of both of ours!
I really prefer to make this with fresh salmon, but I got a whole frozen side for really cheap this month and I just couldn't say no! This last time I made the recipe, I had two portions left that I thawed in warm water. There was a side that was slightly freezer-burned, but I just cut that part off when I was taking the skin off.
The next thing I did was marinate the salmon! J prepared a marinade of (based on the linked recipe):
- 1 whole head of garlic, chopped up
- 1/2 tablespoon ground ginger
- 3 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon syrup (from Vermont)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 3 heavy dashes of white pepper
- Pinch of salt
We marinated the salmon in that mixture for about an hour and a half, and then pre-heated the oven to 375. When the oven was ready, we transferred the salmon to an oven-safe pan, along with all the excess marinade! We both tend to like more of the marinade that is really called for because I've been serving it over cilantro-lime rice, and it just tastes sooo good together!
It cooks in the oven for 15-20 minutes, and then is ready to eat! We piled the cilantro-lime rice into bowls, placed the salmon on top, and then poured the excess liquid on top. SO. YUMMY!
Have you ever made this recipe? Would you? Do you have a recipe that you could make over and over again?
