Salmon is marinated in soy sauce, brown sugar, orange juice, spices, and fresh ginger and then broiled to perfection! My family and friends rave about this recipe with every bite. Even my husband, who wouldn't eat salmon, now asks when we're having it again. Please try it for your and your family's health!
Ingredients
1 pound salmon fillets
⅓ cup brown sugar, divided
2 teaspoons lemon pepper, divided
1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, minced
⅓ cup orange juice
Directions
Rub salmon fillets with about 1 tablespoon brown sugar; lightly season with lemon pepper and garlic powder, then rub into fillets.
Combine soy sauce and olive oil in a small saucepan set over medium heat; stir in ginger and remaining each brown sugar, lemon pepper, and garlic powder. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly until brown sugar has dissolved. Off heat, stir in orange juice.
Pour soy marinade into a resealable plastic bag; add salmon fillets, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 3 hours to overnight.
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Remove salmon fillets from marinade and shake off excess; place fillets on an aluminum foil-lined baking pan. Reserve marinade.
Broil in the preheated broiler, skin-sides up, 2 minutes. Remove from oven, remove skins from fillets using tongs. Baste fillets with reserved marinade; broil 2 minutes more. Flip fillets; broil until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes more. Let sit before serving, 5 minutes.
