This was excellent. I'm not a big fish eater but it came out great. Changes: more honey marinate longer than 20 min! reserved the marinade boiled it and served it as a sauce. Would definitely make again.
This was by far the best salmon I ve ever tasted. I made the marinade exactly as instructed but my ginger looked old so I substituted ground ginger. I love the taste of fresh ginger and can t wait to try it in this recipe the next time I cook it. I had to heat up the oven for another dish I was making so rather than grill this; I cooked it in the oven on 450.
We have access to tons of great salmon so we're always looking for the next best thing. This is a really nice marinade/glaze because it lets the salmon flavor come through. I was worried it would taste like teriyaki but it did not. Very subtle. Fresh ginger tip: freeze your fresh ginger in a baggie and grate it frozen peel and all. The peel comes off on the front side of the peeler and doesn't get into your dish. You also don't need to bother with putting it in the tinfoil boat to marinade. We did it in a baggie. Tonight we're going to plank it after marinading instead of cooking it in the sauce.
Loved this! Did not use honey (had none) and used a generic teriyaki sauce in place of soy sauce. Put the salmon filet in foil pouch and grilled it for approx. 5 minutes each side. Added a touch of butter after fish was plated and the taste was incredible. Served it with asparagas and corn on the cob. My husband definitely NOT a fan of fish asked for it again! Will positively share this with friends. Thanks!
This is the best marinade for salmon I have ever used. I marinated it for 2 hours. It doesn't overpower the fish. The only thing I did different was grill it on a soaked cedar plank. I roasted fingerling potatoes and asparagus on the grill with it and served it with a Oregon Pinot Noir. Truly a restaurant quality meal. Thanks for the recipe. I will use this over and over again.
In the past my husband would only eat fresh fish he caught. Well I bought some salmon and made this recipe and he loved it. The only change is that I did not add the giner root - did not have it on hand but will probably not use it in the future either as it was great the way I made it.
I agree it does need to be marinated longer. I marinated as directed in the recipe and found this salmon to lack flavor. The ingredients are pretty basic to many salmon marinades however they usually call for a longer marinating time. That would be my only suggestion.
When the salmon is grilled in this sauce it turns into the most succulent glaze - classy restaurant quality!!
This was the best tasting and easiest salmon recipe I have ever made. I only used 2 salmon filets, but made the full marinade for grilling. It was fantastic and is taking over in my recipe book as my #1 salmon recipe. I paired with thai noodles and a nice fresh salad. Yum!
Salmon has great natural flavor but I prefer a little more kick. Also I would marinade the salmon longer and add more marinade per salmon amount. It was super easy so that is a plus. We used a grill pan instead of individual wrapping each one. This may have caused undesired results.
