Asian Glazed Salmon
This salmon is marinated in a simple but super tasty Asian marinade and then broiled/grilled to produce a gorgeous caramelisation. Fast enough for midweek, fancy enough for company!
Servings: 2
Calories: 276cal
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets , skinless (approximately 0.8 - 1lb / 400 - 500g)
Marinade
- 1 tsp fresh ginger , finely grated
- 1 garlic clove , crushed
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce (Note 1)
To Serve (optional)
- Sesame seeds
- Scallions/shallots , finely sliced
- Steamed Asian Greens
- Rice
Instructions
- Combine the Marinade ingredients in a shallow bowl. Add salmon and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Heat grill/broiler on high. Place the rack 25 cm / 10" from the heat source.
- Place salmon on baking tray (no oil required). Scrape all the excess glaze from the bowl onto the salmon.
- Grill/broil for 7 to 10 minutes, until the top of the salmon is beautifully caramelised. Be careful not to overcook the salmon!
- Serve salmon sprinkled with sesame seeds, scallions/shallots with rice and steamed Asian greens on the side.
Notes
1. You can substitute the sweet chili sauce for any of these:
- 1 1/2 tbsp honey or maple syrup + 1/2 tbsp sriracha or any other hot sauce or chili paste or 1/4 tsp chili flakes
- 1 tbsp jam (any) + 1/2 tbsp hot tap water + 1/2 tbsp sriracha or any other hot sauce or chili paste or 1/4 tsp chili flakes 2. This recipe is not suitable for cooking on the stove or BBQ because the glaze will burn too quickly. Baking does not work quite as well because it takes longer to get the caramelisation, by which time the salmon is somewhat overcooked. Broiling/grilling is the best method!
