Soy Ginger Marinated Salmon
Instructions:
- 4 salmon fillets or steaks (allow about 6 oz. per person)
- Marinade (see following recipe)
- Lemon wedges, optional
- Marinade:
- 1 cup sake (Japanese rice wine)
- 1/2 cup natural soy sauce or tamari (preferably reduced sodium)
- 1 tbsp. fresh grated ginger
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, pressed
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- Make the marinade by whisking the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water, and place in a glass or ceramic dish.
- Pour the marinade over the fish. Cover the dish and allow the fish to marinate in the refrigerator for several hours (about one to three hours).
- At least once or twice during this time, check the fish and spoon the marinade over any exposed parts of the fillets.
- Fire the grill, or preheat the broiler to high heat.
- Drain the fish and place on foil on grill or rack in the oven. Cook until desired doneness, (fish flakes easily and is opaque) but be careful not to overcook.
- Serve immediately, with lemon wedges as garnish if you like. For a complete, satisfying meal, add rice and a salad or steamed vegetables.
- Makes four servings.
