Introduction

This is WONDERFUL! The contrast between the sweet honey and savory ginger and garlic makes this fish amazing. This is WONDERFUL! The contrast between the sweet honey and savory ginger and garlic makes this fish amazing.
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    Fresh Ginger, minced
    Garlic, minced
    Soy sauce (low sodium), 1/3 cup
    Orange juice, 1/3 cup
    Honey, 1/4 cup
    Green onions, chopped, 1/3 cup
    4 small Salmon filets (about 4 oz. each)

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a large ziploc bag, and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to marinate the fish. Remove from bag and grill until it flakes with a fork. I use a George Foreman grill, which takes about 7 minutes. On a regular grill, it would take longer.

Optional: While fish is cooking, put leftover marinade in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring often, to reduce it to a thick sauce. Spoon over fish.

Makes 4 servings, and is great with rice.

    Best salmon I've ever had. The taste is AMAZING! I poured the marinade into a 9x13 pan and cooked the fish at 350 for 20 min. and it was perfect! SO good! We've already had it twice. - 1/27/11

    This was incredible! We LOVED it! And - coming from someone who is challenged enough in the kitchen to have a problem with Ramen Noodles - it was easy enough even for me! Definitely going to do this one again! - 10/8/09

    Second time I've made this, and it was even better! I cooked the leftover marinade as directed and spooned it over the salmon and rice. I broiled the salmon for about 10 minutes instead of grilling too. YUM from me and the BF! - 3/31/09

    This is a really interesting marinade. A bit sweet with an asian flair. I really enjoyed it. My hubby isn't a huge fan of Salmon, but he really enjoyed the flavor this marinade gave. We'll definitely use again. - 5/7/08

    Just tried this recipe for the first time and it's DELICIOUS!!! Tried broiling for 10 mins as some suggested, but that wasn't enough and didn't realize it until we'd already sat down to eat :(. Lesson learned, will try baking and then broiling next time. Served with brown rice and stir-fry veggies. - 4/25/13

    I made this last night. It was a huge hit with friends and family. It was loaded with flavor. I highly recommend reducing the remaining marinade to create a sauce to spread on the salmon after it is plated. - 5/27/11

    Recipe was great. Marinated the salmon while I exercised. I baked at 400 for about 8 minutes instead of grilling - was still wonderful. Will try again on grill in future. - 1/21/09

    I have served this several times now. I buy a bag of stir-fry veggies (at your local grocery store), and add some brown rice-- couldn't get any better! After I make it, it's already be requested again! I omit the fresh ginger and just use ground. - 8/13/08

    Delicious! The flavor of the marinade is wonderful. We baked the salmon instead of grilling, placed the salmon over rice, and drissled with the sauce. It was fantastic and healthier than some of the other "healthy" dinners my husband and I have been cooking lately. - 6/17/08

    I had to make a few changes, I used pineapple juice instead of orange juice (forgot the oj at the store!), and I added some orange peel spice, as well as some lemon juice. It came out great! I also broiled it instead of grilling it, turned out really well! - 5/27/08

    I made this and it was truly one of the best salmon filets I ever had! I didn't grill it, I wrapped it in foil with the marinade and baked it - and it was HEAVENLY. I will do this over and over! Thanks! - 5/21/08
