Zesty Lemon Ginger Salmon Recipe

Today’s Recipe: Lemon Ginger Spiced Salmon

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite seafood dishes that always brings a burst of flavor to the dinner table. This Lemon Ginger Spiced Salmon is perfect for a light and refreshing meal that’s packed with bold and zesty ingredients. Let’s dive into this delicious recipe!

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (approx. 150g each)
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger, minced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons of honey
• 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• oven

I start by preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, I combine the minced ginger, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, and olive oil to create a marinade for the salmon.

Next, I place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and spoon the marinade over each fillet. I then top each fillet with a slice of lemon for an extra citrusy kick. Season with salt and pepper to taste before placing the baking sheet in the oven.

Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired doneness. The aroma of the lemon and ginger will fill your kitchen, creating a tantalizing anticipation of the delicious meal to come.

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. The flavors will have melded beautifully, creating a harmonious blend of zesty lemon and warm ginger with a hint of sweetness from the honey.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, with 4 servings at 150g each. Each serving is around 300 calories, making it a healthy and satisfying meal option.

Pro tip: For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or green onions on top of the cooked salmon before serving. This adds a fresh and herbaceous element that complements the zesty marinade perfectly.

I hope you give this Lemon Ginger Spiced Salmon recipe a try and make it your own with any additional herbs or spices you love. Enjoy this delightful dish with your loved ones and savor every bite!
