Fast Salmon with a Ginger Glaze
This ginger glaze recipe is really wonderful on salmon, but equally delicious on swordfish, halibut, tuna, or any other firm, full-flavored fish.
Ingredients
- 4 (8 ounce) fresh salmon fillets
- salt to taste
- ⅓ cup cold water
- ¼ cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon hot chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
- 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
Directions
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Season salmon fillets with salt.
- Cook salmon on the preheated grill until it easily flakes with a fork, 6 to 8 minutes per side.
- Combine water, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, chili paste, ginger, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until barely thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle basil on top of salmon; spoon glaze over top.
