Asian Salmon (Foodbabe)
- 1.5 or 1 pound WILD salmon with skin on (I think the skin on preserves freshness)
- 2 tbsp Mirin - Japanese Cooking Wine (available in Asian section of market)
- 2 tbsp Agave Nectar or Grade B Maple Syrup (I sometimes use only 1 tbsp - if I am trying to cut calories)
- 1/4 cup low sodium tamari or soy sauce (I sometimes use a little less, if I am trying to cut salt)
- 2 tbsp minced ginger
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 chopped scallions (save for topping)
- Pre Heat Oven to 425 degrees
- Take all ingredients except Salmon and scallions and put in a small pan on medium/high heat
- Bring to a boil
- Simmer 5-7 minutes, stirring mixture
- Let mixture cool before marinating Salmon
- Put Salmon in a glass dish or Ziploc with all marinade - make sure bits of ginger/garlic are on the skinless side
- Top with chopped scallions (optional)
- Marinate for at least 1 hour at most 6 hours
- Place in Oven skinless side facing up (the skin will stick to the pan and leave you with all the good fish)
- Bake 15 - 20minutes - It usually goes 20 for me. Or you can Grill it at 400 degrees skin side down for about 8-10 mins
- Let fish rest for 2-5 mins - and SERVE!
