How to Make Salmon With Honey Soy Glaze And Ginger Butter Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small saucepan over high heat, combine 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons honey.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cold water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch.
  4. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the soy sauce mixture.
  5. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  6. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens into a glaze (about 2 minutes).
  7. Pour 1/2 cup of the glaze into a shallow baking dish.
  8. Add salmon fillets to the baking dish, turning to coat with the glaze.
  9. Transfer the baking dish to a rimmed baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 18 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque in the center.
  11. Spoon the remaining glaze over the salmon.
  12. Broil for 2 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbling and caramelized.
  13. Carefully transfer the salmon to plates using a metal spatula.
  14. While the salmon bakes, prepare the ginger-butter sauce:
  15. In a heavy medium saucepan over high heat, combine 1/2 cup dry white wine, 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots, and 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger.
  16. Boil until the mixture is reduced to 1 cup (about 15 minutes).
  17. Add 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream and simmer until the mixture is reduced to 1 1/4 cups (about 15 minutes).
  18. Remove from heat and add 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold butter, one piece at a time, whisking until each piece is melted before adding the next.
  19. Strain the sauce into a medium bowl, pressing on the solids.
  20. Stir in 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger.
  21. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  22. Serve the salmon immediately, drizzled with the ginger-butter sauce.
