Hoisin Glazed Salmon
Description
The glaze combines salty soy sauce and hoisin with aromatic garlic and ground ginger, sweetened with honey and brightened by lime juice. Simmering reduces the mixture to a thicker consistency that coats the salmon well. The salmon is brushed with the glaze before and during baking, building layers of flavor and a lightly sticky surface.
Baking at 350 degrees for about 17-20 minutes cooks the salmon through while retaining moisture and allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly. The simple side salad with spring greens, corn, edamame, clementines, sliced carrots, and peanuts adds fresh, sweet, and crunchy notes that contrast well with the savory glazed fish.
Brushing the glaze multiple times during cooking enhances the salmon's flavor depth and glaze texture. Alternatively, marinating the salmon in the sauce before baking intensifies the taste. The dish can be served warm or cold, suitable for meal prep or quick lunches.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup soy sauce low sodium or tamari
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp garlic or 2-3 cloves of garlic, paste
- 1 tsp ground ginger or freshly grated ginger
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 lime
- 400 grams salmon or 4 fillets, fillets
To serve the salmon with (optional)
- spring greens
- corn
- edamame
- clementines
- carrot sliced
- peanuts
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350 degrees
- To make the hoisin glaze, mix together the soy sauce, water, hoisin sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, and the juice of a lime together in a pot. Then simmer the sauce until it reduces to a thicker consistency.
- Brush the salmon fillets with the mixture (see notes for more) before placing them into the oven to bake for 17-20 minutes.
- To serve, I made a simple salad that consisted of spring greens, edamame beans, sliced carrot, corn, and some peanuts for an added crunch. This salmon and salad combo can be serve cold, perfect for work - just break up the salad and mix it together with the salad!
Notes
- Brushing the glaze on the salmon three times during baking layers the flavor and texture.
- Wash your brush and use separate bowls when glazing to avoid cross-contamination between raw and cooked salmon.
- For deeper flavor, marinate the salmon in the glaze before baking instead of just brushing.
- Nutritional information applies only to the salmon portion, excluding the salad.
