Ingredients for Asian Barbecue Salmon

  • Boneless Salmon Fillets
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons orange marmalade
  • Lemon Juice
  • Gingerroot

How to Make Asian Barbecue Salmon

  1. Whisk together 1/4 cup hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons orange marmalade, 1 tablespoon citrus juice (orange or lime), and 1 teaspoon grated ginger in a bowl.
  2. Place salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each) in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring both sides are coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat your grill pan to high heat. Place salmon fillets on the hot grill pan and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Serve immediately with your favorite roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions (optional).

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.
