Around my house we’re always trying to make our meals just a little bit healthier, but I’m definitely not going to skimp on flavor or ease. So let me just say, this meal has become a favorite around here! We all know we should be eating more fatty fish (thanks omega-3s!), and salmon is one of my freezer staples. I like to just throw mine in the oven with this simple marinade on it, and I usually roast some veggies in another pan right alongside it. Serve it all with a little rice, and you’re set!
Garlic Ginger Roasted Salmon
-2 medium sized salmon fillets
-4 cloves of garlic
-2 inches of ginger
-1 Tbsp soy sauce
-1 Tbsp oyster sauce
-1 Tbsp honey
-1 tsp sesame oil
-salt and pepper to taste
Combine all of the ingredients except for the salmon in a small food processor to make a smooth paste. If you don’t have a small food processor, no problem! Just mince or grate the ginger and garlic and combine them with the other ingredients. Next pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and spoon the marinade over both sides of the salmon. If you have the time, allow it to marinate in the fridge for up to two hours; if not, just pop it in the oven. Before roasting, make sure that most of the garlic mixture is sitting right on top of the fillets. Then roast the salmon in a 375° oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until it is just cooked through.
I like to serve mine over hot rice tossed with minced green onions. So easy and delicious! Enjoy!
