How to Make Amaretto Oriental Salmon
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- Lightly coat a shallow roasting pan with vegetable oil spray.
- 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.
- While the salmon bakes, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce the marinade over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens to a glaze-like consistency.
- Carefully remove the salmon from the oven and place it on a serving platter or large plate.
- Pour the reduced amaretto glaze over the salmon.
- Garnish with lemon slices and fresh asparagus. Serve immediately.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
