Equipment
Ingredients
- 6-8 oz salmon fillets
Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sake or sherry
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon white wine dried
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 teaspoon ginger fresh minced
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 garlic cloves minced
Sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice fresh
- 2 teaspoons white wine dried
- 1 large garlic clove minced
- 1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce
- 1/3 cup onion minced
- pinch cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Rinse the salmon fillets and pat dry.
- Cut 2-3 shallow slashes in each skin side, without cutting all the way through.
- Make the marinade: Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Place the salmon, flesh side down, in a shallow non-aluminum dish. Pour in the marinade, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, turning the salmon over once or twice.
- While the salmon is marinating, prepare the sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar. Add all of the remaining sauce ingredients, and combine until well mixed.
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Transfer salmon fillets (discard marinade) to an oven safe pan, pour prepared sauce over the fish and bake for 8 minutes, skin side up. Put the oven on broil, turn the fish fillets to skin side down, and allow the fillets to broil for about 3-4 minutes, or until the tops are glazed and just firm to the touch. Serve with pan juices, and wedges of lemon and lime.

Notes
If you're looking for a savory ginger glaze for your salmon, consider adding it to your meal. The sauce is both sweet and sour and tastes great on salmon. Depending on the thickness of your salmon, you may need to use two pieces of aluminum foil. You can also use a single piece of aluminum foil instead of two. If you're a vegetarian, it's good to know that you can make a meal with one of these two types of sauces.
