Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon filets
- 1/3 cup brown sugar divided
- 2 teaspoons lemon pepper divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder divided
- 1/3 cup soy sauce low sodium
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1- inch ginger minced, fresh, piece
- 1/3 cup orange juice
Instructions
- Rub the salmon with 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the lemon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic powder. Rub the seasoning into the fish.
- Combine the soy sauce and olive oil in a small saucepan. Stir in the remaining brown sugar, lemon pepper and garlic powder, as well as the ginger. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Let the mixture simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the orange juice.
- Place the fish and the marinade in a large ziplock bag. Refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with foil. Preheat the broiler. Place the fish on the baking sheet, reserving the marinade.
- Broil the fish for 2 minutes, then baste with the reserved marinade, then broil for 2 additional minutes. Turn the fish over and broil until the fish flakes easily, about 4 more minutes. Watch the salmon carefully while broiling, as the marinade on the baking sheet can start to smoke because of the sugar.
- Remove the fish from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
