How to Make Amaretto Oriental Salmon

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Disaronno Amaretto, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add salmon fillets (or steaks) to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  4. Lightly coat a shallow roasting pan with vegetable oil spray.
  5. Place the marinated salmon in the pan, skin-side down. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. While the salmon bakes, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  7. Reduce the marinade over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens to a glaze-like consistency.
  8. Carefully remove the salmon from the oven and place it on a serving platter or large plate.
  9. Pour the reduced amaretto glaze over the salmon.
  10. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh asparagus. Serve immediately.
