This is my go to marinade for salmon. It’s super quick, easy, and delicious.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup tamari (soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 4-6 wild salmon fillets
Directions:
For the marinade:
- Mix the orange juice, soy sauce, ginger, honey, and sesame oil in a small saucepan and bring to a boil
- Reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Put the marinade in a bowl and set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the salmon:
- Place the salmon in a single layer in a shallow pan.
- Pour half the marinade on top and turn to coat all sides.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Cook salmon on the grill or roast in the oven.*
- Serve with remaining marinade spooned on top.
* To roast the salmon, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Roast for about 14 minutes.
