Salmon with Sesame Ginger Citrus Glaze

I had Sandy and her family over back in August for dinner and found this recipe for salmon:

Serves 4
  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
  • 1 dash toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
  • 2 Scallions, optional
  • 1 20-oz salmon fillet (cut into 4 5-oz pieces, season with salt/pepper)
In a small bowl, mince garlic and grate ginger. In a large zip tab plastic bag, combine next ingredients brown sugar, orange juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes. Then, add seasoned salmon, garlic, and ginger to zip tab plastic bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Coat broiler pan with cooking spray. Place salmon on broiler rack and brush glaze on top. Broil for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Thinly slice scallions and sprinkle the scallion slices over the cooked salmon as a garnish.

I bought wild salmon from Costco and I was so impressed with how this came out. It was moist and flavourful and super delicious. I'm having another friend over this Monday and I can't wait to make it again. Photos to come!
