Ingredients
- 2 lb salmon fillet bones removed
- 1 orange zested and sliced
- 1 green onion stalk diced
- 2 Tbsp fresh ginger minced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp mango chipotle seasoning
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Place the salmon on a board skin side down.
- Sprinkle with ginger, sugar, seasoning and garlic.
- Top with zest of one orange and green onion.
- Slice orange thinly and place on the salmon.
- Heat the grill to 400 degrees F.
- Cook skin side down for 25 minutes.
Notes
- Fresh is best for this recipe. Freshly squeezed orange juice, grated orange zest, and minced fresh ginger and garlic are the keys to a truly flavorful glaze.
- While we simply sprinkle the ingredients over the salmon to create a glaze, you can also mix everything together beforehand. Simply combine the ingredients in a small bowl and then brush the orange ginger sauce onto the fish with a pastry brush.
- Marinate for maximum flavor. Letting the orange ginger marinade soak into the fish for 15-20 minutes makes all the difference.
- For a different cooking method, bake your salmon on a baking sheet at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until just opaque.
- Mix things up with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat or a dash of sesame oil for an Asian-inspired twist.
