I try to make some sort of fish dinner about once a week because the Omega 3’s in fish like salmon are great for lowing cholesterol, preventing migraines, and a slew of other health benefits! Fish can get boring so I always have to find ways to jazz it up, like I did with the Blackened Salmon Caesar Salads.

I had seen several recipes for a soy glazed salmon floating around on Pinterest but they all ended up with the ingredients of just soy sauce and brown sugar and that just seemed too boring and bland. I really like Asian food so I always have a few key Asian ingredients on hand  for some of the other recipes I make.  I decided to take the base of the Pinterest recipes (soy and brown sugar) and add some sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, garlic, and ginger to bump up the Asian flavors! And baking the salmon in a foil pack helps lock in all the great flavors and keeps the fish super moist!!

Asian Glazed Salmon

Ingredients

1/3 cup of low sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of water
1 tablespoon of grated ginger
1 tablespoon of grated garlic
1 heaping tablespoon of orange marmalade
1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon of sesame oil
salmon fillets

Directions

Place the salmon in a foil pack and spoon over enough sauce to cover the fish, reserving some sauce for later.

Seal the foil pack up and bake for 30-45 minutes at 450° until fish flakes with a fork.

Right before serving, spoon a little more sauce over the fish.

Enjoy with some steamed rice and steamed Asian veggies!

Much Love,
