Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey and hot water until the honey dissolves. Add the ginger, garlic, orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and ½ teaspoon salt, and whisk to combine.
- Arrange the salmon fillets in a 10-cup FoodSaver Preserve and Marinate Container. Pour most of the marinade over the salmon, reserving about ½ cup. Place the lid on the container. Turn the valve so the arrow points to the Marinate/Open position.

- Use tongs to remove the salmon from the container and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the salmon with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Discard the salmon marinating liquid.
- Roast the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until it flakes easily when nudged with a fork.
- While the salmon roasts, pour the reserved ½ cup marinade into a small pot and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer until sauce reduces and thickens slightly, about 5-6 minutes. Once it has reduced, remove the pot from the heat.
- Spoon the sauce over the salmon, then garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve with steamed rice and broccoli.

STEAMED SALMON WITH GARLIC AND GINGER
Steps:
- To make the flavoring sauce, in a small bowl, combine the sugar, pepper, oyster sauce, and soy sauce and stir to dissolve the sugar. In a small skillet or saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 15 to 20 seconds, or until fragrant. Add the ginger and cook for about 1 minute, or until aromatic and pliant. Pour in the oyster sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Add the chopped scallion, stir to combine, and remove from the heat. Set aside. (The sauce may be prepared up to 4 hours in advance. Let cool, then cover it to prevent it from drying out. Keep at room temperature until ready to use.)
- Select a heatproof plate or nonreactive cake or pie pan 1 inch smaller in diameter than your steamer tray. (Ideally, you will be able to serve the fish from whatever you choose, thus avoiding the need to transfer it to a serving plate.) Set aside a few scallion strips for garnish and scatter the rest on the plate or pan. Arrange the fish on top and pour on the flavoring sauce. Place the plate or pan in the steamer tray.
- Fill the steamer pan half full with water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Place the tray in the steamer, cover, and steam the fish for 8 to 10 minutes, or until a knife inserted at the thickest part easily pierces the flesh all the way to the bottom.
- When the fish is done, turn off the heat. Use pot holders or a Chinese steamer retriever (see Note, opposite) to remove the plate or pan from the steamer (you may find it easier to put the steamer tray on the counter first) and place it on a platter. Or, use 2 wide spatulas to transfer the fish to a warmed serving platter and pour the juices on top. Garnish with the reserved scallion strips and the cilantro and serve immediately.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER
Wild Pacific salmon is available in spring and summer, and the flavor is phenomenal. It definitely tastes better than farmed salmon and is always a better choice, sustainably speaking. Though it is expensive, think of it as a seasonal treat. Whether you choose wild king salmon, coho or sockeye, take care not to overcook it.

Steps:
- Lay the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Make the ginger-lime butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, ginger, lime zest, lemon zest and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir well to combine.
- Transfer salmon, uncovered, to the oven to cook for about 8 minutes. Check the salmon once or twice as it cooks. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it should be fully cooked when little white juices appear on the surface - moist and yielding with big flakes when probed. It may take 10 minutes for thick fillets.
- As the salmon cooks, put 2 tablespoons ginger-lime butter in a wide deep skillet or large pot over medium heat. When butter is melted, add spinach and a pinch of salt. Put on the lid and turn heat to medium-high. (You may need to add the spinach in batches.) After 2 minutes, remove lid and stir spinach to help it wilt. When all spinach is wilted, turn off the heat.
- Transfer salmon to a platter or divide among individual plates. Smear the remaining ginger-lime butter on the fish. Surround with wilted spinach and lime wedges, and top with scallions.
Tips:
- Select the freshest salmon you can find: Look for salmon that is firm to the touch and has a bright, vibrant color. Avoid salmon that is slimy or has an off odor.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the salmon: This will help you get clean, even slices.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the salmon, make sure to leave enough space between each piece so that it can cook evenly.
- Cook the salmon over medium heat: This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Baste the salmon with the garlic-ginger sauce: This will help to keep the salmon moist and flavorful.
- Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served hot, so make sure to serve it as soon as it is cooked.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Salmon with Garlic and Ginger is a delicious and easy way to prepare salmon. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the garlic-ginger sauce is flavorful and aromatic. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
