ORANGE-GINGER GLAZED SALMON
Salmon is my version of fast food. It's already so wonderfully flavorful on its own that I don't have to put much effort into it. A brush of oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, plus a few minutes in a hot oven or skillet and dinner is ready. In this recipe I whisk together marmalade, soy sauce and some freshly grated ginger, then I add a squeeze of fresh orange juice, pour it over the salmon, and then into the oven it goes. The result is sticky, sweet, tangy and oh so flavorful!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet or baking pan with foil. Sprinkle the salmon generously with salt and pepper and place on the foil.
- Whisk the marmalade, ginger, soy sauce, oil and orange juice together in a small bowl. Pour over the salmon. Drop the peel form the orange onto the baking sheet along with the salmon. Bake until the salmon is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. If you like, turn the oven to broil for the last 3 or so minutes of cooking to brown the top of the fillets.
- Serve the salmon immediately or cool and refrigerate to use in salads or sandwiches.
SALMON FILLETS GLAZED WITH GINGER, LIME AND SOY
Steps:
- Mix marinade ingredients. Place fillet(s) in plastic sealable bag and pour marinade over, turning to coat. Let marinate 30 minutes at room temperature or 1 hour in the refrigerator, turning the fish once or twice to distribute the marinade evenly. Prepare a grill. Drain fish, reserving marinade. Place fillets on grill over indirect high heat and cover. Baste occasionally with the marinade. Do NOT turn the salmon fillets. When they are done, the fillets will lift easily from the skin. Approximately 5-6 minutes/1/2" inch of fillet or steak.
GINGER LIME GLAZED SALMON
A delicious glaze for salmon. It's not necessary to marinate in advance. This makes a modest amount of sauce/glaze. Should you desire more to serve over rice, increase the amounts but add after removing the fillets from the pan.

Steps:
- Grind together the ginger, chile pepper, garlic and sugar in a mortar and pestle to get a coarse paste. Transfer paste to a bowl and add fish sauce, lime juice, Sriracha and water; mix to combine. Season with salt; set aside. (This may be done in a small food processor bowl or blender.) This sauce will be divided.
- Dry with paper toweling and season salmon with salt. Pour over the fillets 4 tablespoons sauce, turning to coat. Set aside the remaining sauce.
- Heat oil in a non-stick skillet. When hot, add the salmon fillets and the sauce used for coating; cook over moderate heat. (Don't add more otherwise you will 'boil' the fillets instead of glazing.) Turn fillets over so that both sides are cooked, scooping glaze over top. Continue to cook until it carmelizes, coating the salmon. Remove the fillets then immediately add to the hot pan the reserved sauce mixture, simmering until it becomes golden and thick. Pour over reserved fillets.
- Serve with white or jasmine rice.
