Don't disregard this post because you don't like salmon, or even fish in general!
And WAIT!!!!!
Don't be turned off by my lack of ability to take a decent picture of it:
... because it is FANTASTIC! Even my daughter, who is not a big fish fan most of the time, gobbled some down (not knowing what it was) and declared, "Tasty. Very tasty." Another perk: it's quick and easy!
Soy Ginger Salmon
1 pound salmon fillets
1/3 cup brown sugar, divided
2 teaspoons lemon pepper, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced
1/3 cup orange juice
*I didn't have fresh ginger root on hand, so I used the ginger from my spice rack and it still turned out great.
1. Rub salmon with about 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Lightly sprinkle with lemon pepper and garlic powder; rub seasoning into fish.
2. In a small saucepan set over medium heat, pour soy sauce and olive oil. Stir in ginger and remaining brown sugar, lemon pepper, and garlic powder. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, stir in orange juice.
3. Place fish and marinade into a resealable plastic bag, seal, and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 3 hours.
4. Preheat broiler. Place fish in a foil-lined baking pan. Reserve marinade.
5. Broil fish skin-side up, 2 minutes. Remove from oven, pull skin off with tongs. Baste with marinade, return to oven, and broil 2 minutes more. Turn fish, and broil until fish flakes easily, about 4 minutes. Remove from oven, and let sit 5 minutes before serving.
*Another note: I used frozen salmon fillets, and these did not have skin on them, so I just skipped the step of pulling the skin off. Even better!
When my husband loves a recipe as much as he did this one, it's definitely blog-worthy. So be brave and give it a try! :)
