Preparation Time2 hr
Cooking Time15 min
Ingredients
- 2 pound salmon fillet
- 1/3 cup ginger flavored soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/3 cup regular soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Rinse the salmon in cool water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Mix together the ginger soy sauce and the honey until honey is dissolved and place in the bottom of a pan big enough to hold the salmon flat.
- Place salmon, skin side up, in the marinade and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
- Heat a large non-stick pan or grill to medium high and spray with cooking spray. Place salmon skin side up and cook for about 4 minutes. You want the salmon to get a little crusty, but be careful not to burn.
- Turn the salmon over, turn heat to medium, and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes or until done. If the salmon is getting too done on the outside, remove to a microwavable plate and finish cooking in the microwave.
- While the salmon is cooking, place the regular soy sauce, butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Heat until sugar is dissolved, then add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes. Pour over finished salmon.
