Best Garlic Ginger Crust Salmon Recipes

GINGER GARLIC SALMON MARINADE (GRILLED, BAKED OR BROILED)

Steps:

• Add salmon to a large ziptop bag.
• In a small mixing bowl add soy sauce, water, sesame oil, dark brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and jalapeno pepper. Whisk to combine and pour over salmon.

• Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for up to 45 minutes.

GINGER-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, maple syrup, Chinese mustard, sriracha and garlic in a large bowl. Pour one-third into a small bowl and reserve. Add the salmon fillets to the large bowl. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the skillet. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Baste the flesh side with the reserved marinade. Flip and cook until the salmon is cooked through and the flesh side is golden brown, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Top with the scallions.

GINGER CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Season both sides of salmon with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. In a separate bowl, combine the ginger, bread crumbs and zests in a bowl.
• Sear both sides of salmon in pan with olive oil. Spread bread crumb mixture on top of filets. Roast in oven until filets are medium rare and "crust" is golden brown (about 6 - 8 minutes).
• Buttery Ginger Sauce:
• In a mini food processor, mince together ginger, garlic and onion. Transfer to saucepan and add honey, soy sauce and brown sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer about 8 minutes until the sauce reduces by half. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter cubes and orange juice. Strain through cheesecloth or mesh strainer.
• Steam green beans just to soften (about 3 minutes,). Add red and yellow peppers and steam one more minute to warm through. Ladle Buttery Ginger Sauce on plate, add vegetables and top with salmon. Garnish with chopped green onion.

SALMON WITH GARLIC AND GINGER

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the parsley, ginger and garlic; cover and process until minced. Add the lemon juice, lime juice, salt, tarragon and pepper; cover and process until blended. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream. Spread mixture over salmon fillets. Place in a shallow 2-qt. microwave-safe dish, positioning the thickest portion of fish toward the outside edges. Cover and chill for 30 minutes., Cover and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Let stand, covered, for 2 minutes before serving.

HONEY-GINGER GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• In a large self-closing plastic bag, combine ginger, garlic, soy sauce, orange juice, honey, and green onion; mix well. Place salmon in bag and seal tightly. Turn bag gently to distribute marinade. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
• Remove salmon from marinade, shake off excess, and discard remaining marinade. Grill for 12 to 15 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Lay the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Make the ginger-lime butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, ginger, lime zest, lemon zest and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir well to combine.
• Transfer salmon, uncovered, to the oven to cook for about 8 minutes. Check the salmon once or twice as it cooks. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it should be fully cooked when little white juices appear on the surface - moist and yielding with big flakes when probed. It may take 10 minutes for thick fillets.
• As the salmon cooks, put 2 tablespoons ginger-lime butter in a wide deep skillet or large pot over medium heat. When butter is melted, add spinach and a pinch of salt. Put on the lid and turn heat to medium-high. (You may need to add the spinach in batches.) After 2 minutes, remove lid and stir spinach to help it wilt. When all spinach is wilted, turn off the heat.
• Transfer salmon to a platter or divide among individual plates. Smear the remaining ginger-lime butter on the fish. Surround with wilted spinach and lime wedges, and top with scallions.
