Best Ginger Lime Glazed Salmon Recipes

SALMON FILLETS GLAZED WITH GINGER, LIME AND SOY

Steps:

• Mix marinade ingredients. Place fillet(s) in plastic sealable bag and pour marinade over, turning to coat. Let marinate 30 minutes at room temperature or 1 hour in the refrigerator, turning the fish once or twice to distribute the marinade evenly. Prepare a grill. Drain fish, reserving marinade. Place fillets on grill over indirect high heat and cover. Baste occasionally with the marinade. Do NOT turn the salmon fillets. When they are done, the fillets will lift easily from the skin. Approximately 5-6 minutes/1/2" inch of fillet or steak.

GINGER LIME GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Grind together the ginger, chile pepper, garlic and sugar in a mortar and pestle to get a coarse paste. Transfer paste to a bowl and add fish sauce, lime juice, Sriracha and water; mix to combine. Season with salt; set aside. (This may be done in a small food processor bowl or blender.) This sauce will be divided.
• Dry with paper toweling and season salmon with salt. Pour over the fillets 4 tablespoons sauce, turning to coat. Set aside the remaining sauce.
• Heat oil in a non-stick skillet. When hot, add the salmon fillets and the sauce used for coating; cook over moderate heat. (Don't add more otherwise you will 'boil' the fillets instead of glazing.) Turn fillets over so that both sides are cooked, scooping glaze over top. Continue to cook until it carmelizes, coating the salmon. Remove the fillets then immediately add to the hot pan the reserved sauce mixture, simmering until it becomes golden and thick. Pour over reserved fillets.
• Serve with white or jasmine rice.

SOY-GLAZED SALMON BURGERS WITH GINGER LIME AIOLI

Steps:

• Prepare grill with a medium fire for direct-heat cooking. In a small bowl, combine aioli ingredients. Reserve 2 tablespoons for burgers and chill remainder until serving time.
• Combine soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar in a small, heavy saucepan. Mix cornstarch and 1 tablespoon wine in a small bowl until smooth and add to soy mixture. Place over grill and stir mixture until glaze boils and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, sip a glass of Sutter Home Sauvignon Blanc, saving remainder for grilling. Set glaze aside. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, aioli, sour cream, lime juice, and chili sauce. Stir in salmon, onion, mint, bread crumbs, and salt to combine. Coat hands with vegetable oil and form 4 patties. Brush grill with vegetable oil and grill patties until browned on bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn patties and brush cooked side with soy glaze. Cook 3 minutes, turn, and brush other side with glaze. Grill just until done, about 4 to 6 minutes, turning and brushing with glaze frequently. During the last few minutes of cooking toast buns, cut side down, on outside of grill. Place cucumber strips on bottom half of bun, top with burgers, aioli, and bun tops. Garnish with sprouts, if desired.

SOY-GLAZED SALMON BURGERS WITH GINGER-LIME AIOLI

Steps:

• 1. To prepare aioli: Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, ginger, lime juice and salt, mixing well. Set aside 2 tablespoons for the burgers and refrigerate the remaining. (The aioli can be made a day in advance.) 2. To prepare glaze: Combine soy sauce, honey and vinegar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve honey. Whisk in dissolved cornstarch, reduce heat and cook 2 minutes. Set aside. (The glaze can be made a day in advance and refrigerated. Reheat slightly before using.) 3. To prepare burgers: Chop the salmon finely. In a medium bowl combine 2 tablespoons reserved aioli, egg, sour cream, lime juice and chili oil. Stir in salmon, green onions, mint, bread crumbs and salt. Mix well. Coat your hands with oil and form into 4 patties. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook. 4. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. Brush grill rack with oil. Place burgers on rack, cover and cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn and brush burgers with soy glaze. Cook, turning and brushing frequently with glaze, until just cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes longer. During last few minutes of cooking, place buns, cut sides down, on outer edges of rack to toast lightly. 5. Spread both sides of buns with reserved aioli. Put burgers on bottom halves and top with some cucumber slices. Add bun tops and serve.
