How to Make Ginger Lime Glazed Salmon

  1. In a mortar and pestle, grind together 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1/2 teaspoon finely minced red chile pepper (or to taste), 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar until a coarse paste forms.
  2. Transfer the paste to a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon sriracha (or to taste), and 1 tablespoon water.
  3. Whisk all ingredients until well combined.
  4. Season the glaze with 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
  5. Set aside 4 tablespoons of the glaze for later.
  6. Pat 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  7. Pour 4 tablespoons of the glaze over the salmon fillets, turning to coat both sides evenly.
  8. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  9. Once the oil is shimmering, add the salmon fillets and the remaining glaze from step 7.
  10. Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, basting frequently with the glaze.
  11. While the salmon cooks, remove reserved glaze mixture from step 5 and set aside.
  12. Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside.
  13. Add the reserved glaze mixture to the hot skillet and simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and becomes slightly golden.
  14. Return the salmon fillets to the skillet to coat in the thickened glaze.
  15. Serve the glazed salmon immediately over white rice or jasmine rice.
