Soy Ginger Salmon Reviews
This is tasty recipe, but broiling this salmon doesnt do it any justice. The marinade is just too good. If you really want to get the most taste out of the salmon, try pan frying it after marinating with a little olive oil, searing both sides and locking in the juices, then save the left over marinade, add 1 tbsp corn starch, and heat until thick. It will make a great sauce that you can just lightly spread on top of the salmon. I tried this with my second attempt and my wife and I liked it much better.
This was GOOD I changed a few things to suit our tastes - used 1/2 the amount of soy and brown sugar, used the juice of one lemon and ground black pepper instead of lemon pepper, and 3 cloves of crushed garlic instead of garlic powder. After marinating the salmon overnight in a baking dish, I put the whole dish with all the marinade in the oven and baked for 20 minutes. I took the skin off at the end. Delicious
I made this salmon for a special New Years Eve dinner. It was fabulous I agree with a previous poster, it is a USD20 entree in a medium size city but I would add, a USD30 entree in a big city. Since I have a 7 yr old and an 8 yr old and a 1 yr old eating this too, I was apprehensive about the amount of lemon pepper. I had doubled the recipe for the marinade because I was using 2 lbs of salmon, but I only used 2 tsp of lemon pepper instead of 4. It was not too peppery at all. Next, I must admit I was skeptical about thickening the marinade and cooking it and pouring it over the top like some reviewers recommended. I had always heard you should promptly discard your marinade. But I figured I was cooking the marinade so any bacteria would be killed so why not give it a try. Well, I am glad I did....it was awesome. So elegant, it would be such a waste to forgo a step that would only take 5 extra minutes.Everyone loved it and couldnt stop saying thanks Mom, its great My 8 yr old requested this every New Years Eve...I think we will have it again way before that : )
Follow the recipe as is....just bake instead of boil - 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon. I have made this 3 times and my family loves it
This recipe was awesome I would definitely suggest doubling the marinade though. I made just two servings with the enough marinade for four. I marinaded overnight and took earlier suggestions to make the remaining into a sauce for the fish. It was perfect. I added a little over a tablespoon of cornstarch and made sure to boil the mix for a few minutes (stirring constantly) just in case any bacteria still existed. This was my first time broiling and it couldnt have turned out better. The timing is incredibly accurate. I served it with Scoopnanas Sesame Noodles and Josies Asian Avocado. The extra sauce was also good over the noodles. The meal was altogether fantastic.
Absolutely delicious These were my modifications: no lemon pepper or garlic powder so used lemon zest and minced fresh garlic; only had regular soy sauce so reduced it to 1/4 cup and upped the OJ to almost 1/2 cup. The fish turned out very well flavoured.
This recipe is definitely a keeper. I used the ingredients as stated, but only had time to marinate for 1 hour. I did baste with the sauce as i broiled the salmon, and the flavour was wonderful. I sprinkled some sesame seeds on before serving, to made it look more appealing.There were no leftovers
This was fabulous- we used real garlic and made a sauce from the marinade with cornstarch. Cook the marinade down a bit and then add a little cornstarch- this is wonderful poured on top of the salmon. We had jasmine rice and steamed asparagus on the side and everyone ate tons of it- be sure to have plenty of salmon on hand We doubled this recipe to accommodate 2.5 lbs of salmon. This recipe will not disappoint
This is delicious. The salmon came out so moist and flavorful. Instead of broiling it, I baked the salmon, with the marinade poured over top, at 400 for about 15 minutes. I served the salmon and sauce over thin rice noodles and veggies with sliced green onions on top. The only change I made to the marinade was to use fresh minced garlic. I also didnt bother to rub the sugar and seasons onto the salmon, I just threw it all in the marinade.
This was ok. I would not be in a rush to make this again & I am always on the look out for good salmon recipes. I thought that it was good but not great. I perfer the Firecracker Salmon Recipe from this site which is similar to this but more flavorful.
Agree with Frank P. No need to broil this. The marinade is delish but try this faster way. Marinate for just 15 mins or so. Pan fry the salmon, skin side down for 3-5 minutes in olive oil. Then the other side for 2 minutes while removing the skin. Once done, pop the marinade in there and sizzle for few seconds. Add some corn starch and make a fabulous sauce. Drizzle over the fish and voila
Sooooooooo easy Soooooooooo good... Added a little green onion for more flavor & color.
Great, delicious recipe, but I always use tilapia, not salmon, and its just as good.
Not one of my favorites. I thought it was sweet for me but the old man liked it.
Loved this Followed the recipe to a T.
Amazing My 4 yr old ate her weight in salmon
The salmon was delicious I marinated this for almost 24 hours because of timing, and the orange soy flavor went throughout. The ginger wasnt strong (I used frozen that I cut previously), so I will triple it next time. Here are my modifications: I used 3 tablespoons of frozen OJ concentrate in place of the OJ and fresh garlic instead of powder, regular pepper and a squirt of lemon juice in place of lemon pepper. We had it over pasta and spooned (boiled down and thickened with cornstarch) the marinate overtop.
This was delicious I only gave it 4 stars because the I didnt like the lemon pepper in it. I will leave it out next time so Ill be making this again
I have made this a few times now and it is amazing i just throw all of the ingredients together in a skillet and cook it until the sauce carmelizes and its great every time thank you
This recipe is now my favorite for salmon. My husband also agrees. This could go in a restaurant its so good
Delicious, I also pan seared and made a sauce with the marinade it was so good. My husband who isnt a big fan of salmon nearly licked the plate clean haha
This is one of my favorite ways to prepare salmon. I have never tried fresh ginger... I just use powdered ginger. If you are watching your sugar intake, this dish is great with or without it. I grill this on the BBQ... for a special treat, try grilling over hickory planks.
My 3 year old and my 1 year old both want seconds when I make this Only thing I change is to bake the fish instead of broiling it.
VERY GOOD I took the suggestion of another reviewer and baked the salmon at 350 for about 25 minutes. After marinating, I added some corn starch to the marinade and poured over the salmon while baking. Delicious
EXCELLENT We love salmon and enjoy trying it done many different ways. I changed this slightly - using fresh minced garlic and lemon zest and fresh ground pepper in place of the lemon pepper (find it artificial tasting). I only had about 1 1/2 hours to marinate this and decided to bake my salmon in the oven instead of broiling it. I left some of the marinade while it baked and removed at least half to a saucepan to thicken. Just boiled it with some water/cornstarch. This had a ton of flavour...the orange juice gave it a wonderful taste, but not too overpowering. SUPER yummy
We LOVED this. I used real lemon juice with cracked pepper instead of lemon pepper. Other than that I followed the recipe. Fantastic.
This is one of the most wonderful salmon recipes Ive ever tried. My mum discovered this for my birthday and made it and it was perfect. Ive since made it for my family and for Dinner parties and everyone has loved it. Thank you.
This was excellent Even my toddlers liked it I didnt find the recipe until right as I was ready to cook, so I didnt let it sit in the marinade and it was still great I just poured the whoe batch of marinade in and kept turning it while it was in the broiler.
I dont use garlic powder, so I minced a garlic clove instead. Also, I was lazy, so I just mixed all the marinade ingredients together in a measuring cup, stirred until the suagr melted, and poured in a zip bag with the salmon. We didnt broil the fillets, we just pan fried them. I thought this was very flavourful, but the salmon itself wasnt a big hit with my family, so I think Id try it on another type of fish next time.
Everyone ate it, and that doesnt often happen in my house, so I will definitely make it again. I followed directions exactly, except I only marinated it for 5 hours instead of overnight. Still flavorful.
Perfect with reviewer recs which are: bake or grill the salmon. Add 1 T cornstarch to leftover marinade to make a sauce for the fish
I marinated over night. Excellent Salmon. I used it on a whole samon. Wonderful flavor and texture. Delicious carmelization from the brown surgar. I broiled it and then boiled down the marinade for a sauce afterwards. Big thumbs up
Sounds Wonderful I would love to ask: Jackie where is the best place to buy Salmon in Murfreesboro area? I want to make this for my sons 18th birthdayThanks,Amy in Smyrna
You just know its a good recipe when you make it wrong and it still tastes amazing. I was out of orange juice and only had powedered ginger, so I mixed what I had in a bowl. I ended up with a paste and thats probably why I forgot to cook it in a pan into a sauce. Whoops PLUS I was running short on time, so I smeared the paste on the fillets, let it sit for an hour and a half, then cooked it on the stove, about 8 minutes each side. OMG it was SO good Next time I will be sure to add the juice and marinate it overnight, but either way this recipe is a keeper. Thanks P.S. We had it with the roast sweet potatoes + onions from this site, and it was great
Good, but still needed a little more zing for my taste.
This was really good. I dont usually like fish, but it wasnt fishy at all. Bought the fillets fresh. Only had to marinate for 2 hrs. I dont think it needed more. Very yummy.
I just made this and it was superb My husband and I were starving just from the aroma of the marinade I only had time to marinate it for an hour and it was still delicious. I also didnt have lemon pepper, so I used regular pepper. I didnt have garlic power, so I used my one remaining clove of fresh garlic. I baked it for 30 minutes at 350 degrees and then broiled it for 5 minutes. I baked it in all of the marinade for the first 20 minutes and then removed most of the marinade to make a reduction. I served it on top of basmati rice and drizzled the reduction on top. Absolutely delicious I want to try this on boneless/skinless chicken next
Served it with high quality salmon to some friends who had almost never had salmon before. They begged for the recipe.
This went really well...the whole family loved it.(even my 1 yr old) Left it overnight in the marinade..i used half a lemon and white pepper( i didnt have any lemon pepper).cooked down the marinade a little bit and added some corn starch...yum, it was so tasty:) The only thing i might do next time is use real garlic and add a bit more ginger:) On the side i made some Tahini(sesame paste,lots of galric,lemon juice, some water,cumin and some diced onions).Will do it again.thank you for sharing:)
This was delish. I will be making this again and again
This Salmon was delcious and fluffy The marinade made a little crust while baaking in the oven. It was simply tangy deliciousness
While my husband eats anything I make and loved this recipe I also was very impressed. I normally cant eat salmon because it is too fishy for me and we have wasted a lot of money buying salmon and cooking it differently in an effort to find a way for me to eat salmon for its wonderful health benefits. This recipe was great and I gobbled it up. I substituted maple syrup for the brown sugar for extra nutritional value. Thank you. This one will even go into our family cookbook.
One of the best and easiest salmon recipes I have ever tried. The only change I make is I only use 1 Tbsp. of orange juice instead of a 1/3 cup but that is just a person preference. My husband didnt even like salmon and he tried some of mine one night, now he requests this recipe at least once a week FANTASTIC.
Mmm..delicious definitly try this one I like pairing it with garlic asparagus on the side :)
Very good It is a bit sweet but very, very good good. All the flavors pop.
I followed the recipe precisely - marinated it overnight - it was hands down, 100% the best salmon Ive ever cooked Also I used my oven timer to follow the timing instructions exactly. Absolutely delicious and already recommending this recipe
Made this a few nights ago, had left it marinating for a little more than 24 hours. I think its good to note that you should cool the marinade a bit before putting the fish in the bag with it. Had a great flavor, we cooked it on the grill rather than in the oven, and it was delicious. Guests seemed to enjoy it, not much left over. Even took some of the marinade to flavor some couscous that we served with dinner, very nice I think the low sodium soy is a must though, we prepared ours with regular and it was borderline salty. (our bad) Tried to balance that with more orange juice and I think it helped. Fresh ginger is so wonderful, we were happy to find a way to use it Thanks
Wow This was great. I grilled instead of broiled, but I can see it being prepared any way, including baked with the marinade. Boiling the marinade to make the sauce is a MUST. Next time I will try it with the Mrs Dash lemon pepper which is salt-free, as another reviewer suggested.
My husband said this was a USD20 entree, and even my kids ate it. Had this been a hard dish to fix, I would still have given it 5 stars, but it was easy and so delicious
MMMM it was great. This will definately be an addition to my salmon recipe collection. I served it with a side of new potatoes and asparagus.
This was a pretty standard salmon recipe. I didnt have any oranges, so I used fresh-squeezed clementine juice. Also, I had never heard of lemon-pepper, so I used some lemon juice & rind and fresh-ground pepper (FYI: you can find sites online to make your own lemon pepper without any of the preservatives and additives they add to commercial varieties, but I didnt have the time for that). I always use minced ginger from a jar, which is easier and keeps longer. I liked the end result, but prefer just fresh-squeezed lemon juice and some oil.
WONDERFUL By far our favorite way to cook salmon (my BF usually doesnt like salmon, but LOVES this) I rub the salmon really well with more than recommended, but usually dont bother marinating it as long. I also put some of the marinade aside after I make it, in order to pour some over the top after it is cooked. Wonderful with Jasmine rice and spring rolls
OMG This was one of the best salmon dishes Ive ever tasted, even in restaurants. I did bake it at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes because my salmon didnt have skin on. I also added cornstarch to the leftover marinade and topped the salmon w/ it after removing from the oven. Just make sure you use FRESH salmon and not previously frozen. Amazing w/ jasmine rice and roasted asparagus and a little wine Thanks
Great recipe I didnt rub the salmon first, just threw it all in the marinade. Wonderful flavor and very moist
This is our go-to salmon recipe, and I always know the kids (ages 4 and 1) will clean their plates if I prepare the salmon this way. It turns out great even if you only marinate it for a few hours. We always heat the marinade while the fish rests after cooking, and use it as a sauce on the fish and rice or mashed potatoes. This is also excellent grilled on an alder plank.
OMG yum I used a black cod and it was amazingly delicious and easy. My husband said it was one of the best things Ive ever cooked
This was truly a fantastic recipe. The only two things that I did differently was add an extra minute cooking time per side and add 1/2 of the reserved marinade to the foil lined dish to ensure that the salmon was moist and succulent. I will definitely be trying this 5 star recipe again
Very tasty, needed more ginger for our taste. Would make again. : )
I was trying to find a recipe that would help me like salmon more thought this might be it but it wasnt. just cant get over that fishy taste.
This was great Made the recipe exactly with the expection of cooking them on the grill instead of broiling. Everyone loved the salmon. We also took the left over marinade and made a sauce by adding a little corn starch, it thickened right up. No leftovers tonight Next time I make them I will add a little bit of red pepper flakes to put a little heat into it.
Best Salmon recipe EVER I just boil then thicken up the left over marinade and drizzle over fish and that makes all the difference, without sauce it would just be okay.And since im always in a hurry i never marinate for more than 15 minutes, and i never have fresh ginger so i just used a half tsp of crushed ginger in the jar .You will not be disappointed. Oh yeah and the trick with removing the skin was so easy. Thanks so much for this recipe its a hit every time
To die for Definitely restaurant quality I didnt have any fresh ginger, so I used a few pinches of ground ginger. Marinaded about 6 hours. I thickened up the left over marinade with flour, poured over salmon and topped with some fresh diced tomatoes. Absolutely delish
Perfect
Breathtakingly delicious I used dried ginger instead of fresh and pre-minced garlic rather than garlic powder. Boiling the marinade for use as sauce is a key to this recipes tastiness. Im all out of salmon, but the sauce was so good that Ill be making it with pork chops tomorrow night 100 stars :)
Im knocking off one star because I dont think the sauce needed as much (or any) olive oil as the recipe called for, as salmon is already naturally rich in oils. Maybe a tsp of olive oil wouldve been enough if you want the aroma/flavor of olive oil in your sauce. Having said that, both the bf and I thought this was a good dish - very rich flavor with just enough hints of lemon. The sauce is excellent over rice. (I took the advice of some previous reviwers and boiled/thickened the leftover marinade with some corn starch). I did double the amount of sauce as I am a huge sauce person, and I also increased the amount of brown sugar to make it a little sweeter - thats the nice thing about the sauce - you can tinker with it while mixing until it is exactly to your liking - plus I added a few shakes of red pepper flakes, just for kicks. I only had enough time to marinade the fish for a little over an hour, but I think it was enough, as fish already contains some natural salt, and rubbing the meat with brown sugar/garlic powder/lemon pepper prior to marinading really helps seal in those flavors. Thanks for a great recipe Will definitely make again.
I made this for my vegetarian friends on Christmas eve but everyone ate a bit of it. It was delicious and the marinade was heavenly (I will be trying it on chicken) and it was given rave reviews. However.... when I make this again I will be buying thick salmon steaks in lieu of salmon fillets. I think the thicker cuts will allow better control with the of how done the fish is. Also, I did not broil my fish in the oven but, "grilled" it in my Aroma Super Pot (the best small appliance I own) in 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Pleasantly surprised. Kids loved it I didnt have orange juice so I substituted mango juice and added orange marmalade.
Reduce marinade for sauce on soba noodles. Baste fish several times during cooking for more flavor.
This salmon is oh, so delicious The whole family loved it. It has just the right blend of flavors to enhance the salmon. I didnt have lemon pepper on hand, though, so just used some regular black pepper. It was excellent, so would probably be even better using the lemon pepper. Thank you for the recipe
Make sure to use the low sodium soy sauce or you will get a pretty salty fish. I didnt have orange juice on hand so I juiced a blood orange and it was so good I did this meal is 7 minutes and it wowed the snootiest of crowds- my hipster friend Heres what I did. Items needed- Fresh green beans Bag of hand made linguine- lemon and chive was what I used bottle of wine corn starch Saut those beans, cook your noodles, and thicken your marinade by simmering it in a sauce pan with the corn starch. Take your fish out and serve with beans and noodles on the side. Drizzle some thickened sauce on top and you have a fancy feast A note- I have a gas stove so this would probably take longer with electric.
I have some tips for you: If your fish has been previously frozen and thawed, make sure you pat it dry before immersing in the marinade. This allows the marinade to penetrate more easily. This applies to any fish that you may use, even if not previously thawed. Also make sure your marinade has cooled completely before adding fish. But I am sure you knew that That plastic bag can ooze flavor into the food and it marinade is still warm, it can begin to cook your fish, meat, chicken, etc. I normally use a glass container with a foil cover. Hope this helped someone.
I never was lover of salmon but after this receipe I definitely am. It wasnt hard to make the marinade and it was a definite hit and has now become a regular.Thanks
Nice flavor in this one if you marinate for longer than 3 hours. My only change was to marinate for 6 hours before grilling. Not our favorite recipe but decent with stir fry veggies. Definitely worth a try if youre in the mood for sweet salmon.
This was an awesome recipe I followed others suggestions, I pan fried the fish with some olive oil, lemon juice and garlic salt on it in addition to a bit of the sauce. Then I put the sauce up to simmer with some cornstarch to thicken it and poured it over the fish. Yum
Being from Alaska, we eat alot of salmon. When a friend invited us over to her house for salmon one evening, we were expecting the same old salmon....BOY WERE WE IN FOR A TREAT This is hands down the best salmon recipe weve found. I used to make good salmon....now I make GREAT salmon. Thank you for this recipe...and thanks Danielle, for inviting us over to try it
I wasnt in a fish mood tonight but BF really liked this. I used two large skinless fillets and cut the brown sugar to only 1 tsp in the sauce mixture (no rub). And looking at the recipe I now realize I forgot the OJ Nuts. Let it sit in my instant marinator and broiled for about 8 minutes total. Received a very loud "Mmmmmm" upon first taste.
Excellent Recipe. Took the advice of others and used the marinade as a sauce by adding a little cornstarch and bringing to a boil. Thank you.
Great recipe.
Excellent I grilled it instead of broiling it. So yummy
This was so good I served it with Cheesie Garlic biscuts. The compliments started as soon as the family came in the house. The smells were delicious and the salmon did not disappoint. I have to admit I did not quite follow the recipe. I forgot to marinade this morning. So I made the marinade and poured it on the salmon in the pan, let it sit while I mixed the biscuits and heated the oven and then cooked it all at the same time. Fantastic
I wish that I could give this recipe more then 5 stars. My husband and I dont eat very much salmon but this was by far the best salmon that we had both ever eaten. I made it in the morning and let it marinade all day before cooking it. It was tender, delicious, and I rich. Thank you so much Onassis75 Everyone should try
My family loves this recipe. I serve the salmon with "dill rice", toasted pine nuts and a side of hot corn. I try to use wild salmon whenever I can since the flavor is so different, but it is still very good with farm raised slamon. This is for real my favorite dinner.
Amazing I made this for a baby shower for 25 ladies and it was fantastic I used wild salmon to make it extra special (if a lot pricier)
This was a great recipe Ive cooked it many times. Instead of broiling the salmon I put just a little olive oil in a pan and at medium heat I fry the salmon. Then I remove the salmon and put the sauce in the pan at a medium to low heat. I then use 1 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch to thicken the sauce to good constancy.
My salmon-hating husband loved this recipe. I baked salmon at 350 instead of broiling, but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly.
This was great I didnt have time to marinate the fish so I added it all together and then baked it for 20 minutes. It was even better the next day for leftovers
Used a little less than 1/4 brown sugar, added 1 tsp of corn starch to thicken the sauce, marinaded it overnight and baked it at 350 degrees for 25 minutes while spooning the marinade over it 3-4 times during baking. Strong flavor so served with rice and steamed veggies. Excellent
The kids loved it Easy to make
I baked this at 450 for 15 minutes instead instead of grilling it and it came out great. My kids loved this and they never eat anything.
Very good. The salmon was very flavorful, and the marinade was excellent. I did not have any lemon pepper or juice, and it was great without it. I spooned the pan drippings over the salmon when served. Great touch.
This was a huge hit at my Asian-themed accounting dinner alongside homemade fried rice.
Amazing. I marinated the salmon for about 6 hours, and like some people said, it doesnt need additional sauce because the fish absorbs all the flavors. I "baked" at 350 for 25 minutes and it was to DIE for. Thanks so much for this recipe (I had some leftover marinade which I froze for another day, mmm)
Great salmon recipe and easy to make.
Wonderful recipe i also heat the marinade, add corn starch and use a side sauce. delicious
I really liked this marinade - I did not have the OJ, and I used fresh garlic rather than garlic powder, and it turned out to be fantastic
Amazing
I made this...I dont understand the hype...I thought it was just mediocre...now searching for better recipe that has soy sauce and ginger, maybe something with honey and more ginger
Fabulous flavor
Im not a big fish person, but these are delicious
