LEMON GINGER SALMON
Our favourite fish recipe from Johanna Burkard (author of The Comfort Food Cookbook, 300/400 Best Comfort Food Recipes - my favourite cookbooks). I often use steelhead trout instead of the salmon, chives instead of the green onions and bottled ginger instead of the fresh but never omit the lemon juice and zest, or the sesame oil.

Steps:
- In a small bowl or measuring cup whisk together lemon juice, soy sauce, oil, sugar and ginger. Set aside 1/3 of the mixture in a small bowl. Place salmon in a shallow dish and pour the rest of the marinade over the top. Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, turning once or twice. Grill or broil salmon over medium heat, turning once with a wide spatula and brushing with excess marinade until salmon is cooked to your liking (about 10 minutes depending on thickness.) Sprinkle with pepper and serve with reserved marinade for drizzling. Makes 4 to 6 servings. March 2008 California Grown
Tips:
- Select Fresh Salmon: Choose wild-caught or sustainably farmed salmon fillets for the best flavor and quality.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Fresh lemon juice, grated ginger, and quality olive oil enhance the salmon's flavor.
- Marinate the Salmon: Marinating the salmon in the lemon-ginger mixture for at least 30 minutes tenderizes it and infuses it with flavor.
- Cook Salmon to Perfection: Bake or pan-fry the salmon until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
- Serve with Simple Sides: Pair the lemon-ginger salmon with roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a crisp salad for a balanced meal.
