Firecracker Salmon image

This salmon gets marinated in a maple and jalapeno sauce, then gets topped with additional maple syrup during baking, for a perfect spicy-sweet marriage of flavors. This only has a hint of heat, so double the jalapeno if desired. Use center-cut salmon fillets that are approximately 1 inch thick.

FIRECRACKER SALMON OAMC



Firecracker Salmon OAMC image

Had this at my sisters and had to find the recipe on the web. Even folks who don't care for salmon love this recipe. I tweaked it a little to lower the sodium and fat. Update: I bought some frozen salmon, made the marinade, and poured into Seal-A-Meal bags with the frozen salmon, and put all in the freezer. Defrosted in the frig overnight. Yum, yum. Pulling the air out with a Seal-A-Meal or Food Saver draws the marinade deep into the fish. Also used the marinade on a very thick sirloin steak for two. Wow! Going to try it on chicken, too.

8 (4 ounce) salmon fillets

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk together all ingredients except filets in medium bowl.
  • Place filets in a glass baking dish, cover with marinade, cover, and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours.
  • OR: Place filets in freezer bags (either all in one, or separately for individual servings) with marinade; if using separate bags, divide marinade equally.
  • Place bags in freezer (remove from freezer the day before serving day and thaw in refrigerator).
  • Prepare outdoor grill with coals about 5 inches from grate; oil or spray grate lightly.
  • Grill 10 minutes per inch of thickness, turning halfway through cooking.
  • NOTE: I substitute olive oil for the peanut oil, and then bake or broil the filets (olive oil does not stand up well to the intense heat of an outdoor grill).

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup peanut oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 1/2 teaspoons firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon light sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes, plus more to taste
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
4 (4- to 6-ounce) boneless, skinless salmon fillets
Canola oil for brushing grill grates
2 whole jalapeño or serrano peppers

Steps:

Slice and scatter over the top of grilled salmon and serve.
