Ginger-Glazed Salmon
- 36 ounces salmon fillets (cut into 6 6-ounce pieces)
- 14 cup soy sauce
- 14 cup cream sherry
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon gingerroot, fresh, grated
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 -2 tablespoon canola oil
- lemon wedge
- For even cooking, choose salmon fillets that are similar in size and thickness.
- We like to buy a large piece and cut fillets about 2-inches wide, 6-inches long and about 1-inch thick at the midpoint.
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, sherry and sugar and heat over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
- Stir in ginger and garlic.
- Place salmon in a glass casserole or plastic, resealable bag.
- Pour marinade evenly over each piece of salmon.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours or at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- (If marinating in the refrigerator, allow fish to come to room temperature- about 15 minutes - before cooking.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and transfer to a plate.
- Pour marinade in a saucepan and reheat to boiling.
- Lightly brush oil on both sides of each piece of fish.
- Grill fish flesh side down first, about 6 minutes, basting with marinade.
- Turn and grill skin side, basting again.
- Fish that is 1-inch thick should only take 10-12 minutes to cook.
- Check to see if it is fully cooked by inserting a fork or skewer into the thickest part of the fillet.
- If it is opaque white and the fork meets no resistance than it is fully cooked.
