Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pound wild-caught salmon
  • 4 inch piece of fresh ginger (about 3 tablespoons, grated)
  • 1 garlic clove (grated)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil
  • Sea salt
  • Fresh black pepper
  • 1 scallion (green and white parts sliced on the bias, scattered over the baked salmon)
  • Fresh cilantro (as garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic and half the ginger in a sauce pan.
  2. Cook for 10 minutes, until it reduces to a thicker consistency.
  3. Remove from heat and add the remaining ginger and the lime juice. Let cool.
  4. Season salmon with a small pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Place salmon in a dish, skin side down. Rub the salmon with oil, spoon half the marinade over the salmon. Let sit for at least 10 minutes. Salmon can marinate for up to 3 hours.
  5. Rub the bottom of a baking dish with olive oil and place the marinated salmon in it, skin side down. Spoon a tablespoon of the remaining marinade over the fish. Bake for 10 minutes at 250 degrees.
  6. Spoon another tablespoon of marinade over the fish and return to the oven for another 10 minutes. Continue to do this until the fish is cooked to medium rare (gives a little more resistance when you push it). Season with salt and fresh pepper, to taste.
  7. Garnish with the scallions and cilantro, and serve.
