Broiled Salmon Teriyaki

(88)
Yield:
6 Serves

Prepare this salmon under the broiler or on the grill. If you don't like to eat the skin of the salmon, you can remove it prior to serving. If you do like it, and you're grilling the fish, you can remove it and serve the crispy skin on the side.From the book "Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Ingredients

  • 1 cup soy sauce

  • ¼ cup honey

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or mild vinegar

  • 1 inch peeled fresh ginger, sliced

  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed

  • 2 pounds boneless salmon fillet, pin bones removed

Directions

  1. Whisk the soy, honey, and lemon juice together in a large enough dish to fit the salmon. Stir in the ginger and garlic. Place the salmon, skin side up, in the sauce and marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 30 minutes.

  2. Preheat a broiler or prepare coals to very hot in a grill. Remove the salmon from the marinade, pat it dry with paper towels, and place it skin side down on an oiled pan or grill grate. Cool until it is slightly firm to the touch, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness. While the salmon is cooking, brush it a couple of times with the marinade to use it all up. Immediately remove the skin while the fish is hot. Serve.
