Asian Salmon

"This is very quick to prepare; I have marinated the salmon for as little as 1/2 an hour, yet it has plenty of flavor. For ease of preparation, we buy individually portioned salmon from a big-box store. We prefer to grill it on our indoor contact because it's SO quick. I've used straight brown sugar, Splenda Brown Sugar Blend, and straight Splenda - and they all work very well. But I think the brown sugar or the brown sugar blend will give you a little better color."

  1. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! This recipe turned out better than I hoped for! I baked the salmon on parchment paper and it was perfect.
     
  2. What a delicious and easy recipe. I used a bit more garlic because we love it and cooked on the panini grill. The fillets turned out wonderfully. I poured the remaining sauce into a skillet and reduced it down a bit and poured it over the salmon before serving. I served with a spinach salad and brown rice. Paired beautifully with a glass of chardonnay. Thank you.
     
  3. Excellent dish, I added a pinch of ginger , a little bit extra garlic and left out the onions. This was superb. Paired with rice and asparagus. Next time I am roasting the asparagus with the salmon in the same sauce.
     
  4. Delicious. Just enough brown sugar to make it a tad sweet but not too sweet!
     
  5. Quick and easy recipe! Most importantly, it was delish!

Tweaks

  1. Delicious! Doubled the recipe and only made two small changes. I added a little more sesame oil and olive oil then called for because there was not enough sauce to marinate all my salmon filets in, and subbed rice wine vinegar for red wine vinegar because it's the only thing I had on hand. Marinated for only half an hour and it was so flavourful! Thank you, this is a keeper!
     
  2. This salmon recipe has great flavor, and a nice mix of Asian tastes... I cooked the salmon for exactly 4 mins. on my large George Foreman Grill because it's SO quick. I had 1 whole fillet, weighing 2 1/4 lbs, and about 1" thick except near the tail, and there was plenty of marinade, as I doubled the recipe. I only marinated it for about 45 mins., and there was still plenty of flavor! If using a George Foreman Grill: Preheat for at least 5 mins. at the minimum setting. Grill salmon for 4 minutes total, or until it flakes easily with a fork. I made this recipe with only a few minor adjustments. I used lite soy sauce, and brown sugar twin in place of the brown sugar. I served this with my recipe for Recipe #218814... FANTASTIC meal!!! Great for when companies coming... Mine loved it!
