Soy Maple Salmon with Green Garlic and Ginger
Post Update:
I am actually revisiting this post after more than 4 years, well clearly we still love this recipe, it is hard to beat something that pretty much cooks itself, with a few fun ingredients. The kids still will not tolerate any real heat, so much as I would love to see what sriracha would do to this recipe, it really is not happening anytime soon. Well, I have upped the ante on ginger and reduced the level of maple sauce over the years, they are OK with this balance. On this rather rainy evening try this out, you just might like it. That seasonal cookbook that I wanted is indeed out, but not really as happening as I had hoped. Well, I still cut and burn my hand, in fact, as we speak I am working with a rather nasty cut.
Not sure if you have ever walked in late to an elementary school concert, or better yet walked in late with a camera. Just to set the record straight I did not get in later, however I did get in after all the good spots were taken. The spots I refer to are not the spots for sitting, but rather picture taking spots. This my friend is the real war zone, well positioned moms on their haunches with equipment all set up to capture special moments for posterity. You walking in means you actually are upseting this fine honed balance, and your camera suggests that you might actually want to move them around.
Once you assure them you have no such intentions you actually find a good seat, despite the delay because well the moms are busy in the corridors with their cameras. I had given up the business of concert photography, until of course they reached the band years. Then it was a different story for my daughter.
The day anyway started with my concerned daughter looking for me because she had a dream about me slipping and falling, so at 6:15 am I traded that last special half an hour of sleep prattling and chatting with her about dreams and their vividness.
Dinner was a simple but very flavorful affair, I was actually very pleased to see the results with a little marinating and then simple baking. Nothing dramatic, 20 minutes at 350 degrees serves with simple steamed rice, just what we need when dinner is need and the time and hands fall a little short.
The same seasoning works well with rainbow trout and red snapper as well. It is good to have a fish with a rich tasting flesh, like the salmon, because this shows off the diversity of flavors of this simple recipe well.
PrintSoy Maple Salmon with Green Garlic and Ginger
Prep Time: 40 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
A simple recipe that is one of the many ways that I cook salmon in our house, this recipe relies on flavor from soy and maple
Ingredients
1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoon light soy sauce or tamari
1 head and stalk of green garlic
11/2 pounds of salmon divided into 4 parts
1 head and stalk of green garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Mix the ginger, maple syrup, soy sauce or tamari in a bowl.Mince the garlic white and thinly snip the garlic greens and set aside.
Mix in the fish and marinate for about 30 minutes.
Squeeze half the lime into the marinade and slice the other half.
Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a baking pan with the oil, place the fish in a single layer with the skin side up and cook for about 15 minutes.
Remove from the heat, serve with the snipped green garlic and the sliced lime ideally over white rice.
Notes
Note: Fresh green garlic is usually just available in spring and fall, in the farmers markets, the rest of the ingredients are good standard pantry staples. So, if you do not get the green garlic you can use 3 pods of pressed regular garlic.
The prep time for the recipe includes marinating.
