Saumon asiatique au glaçage au miel et au gingembre

Ingrédients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (use low sodium if you are sensitive to sodium)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon mirin
• 1 (2-inch piece) fresh ginger, peeled and grated
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 (6 -ounces) salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Sesame seeds for garnishing, optional

Préparation

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. 2

   --- To Make the Honey Ginger Glaze ---

3. 3

   In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, add the soy sauce, honey, mirin, grated ginger and minced garlic. Mix to combine and simmer for about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

4. 4

   --- Prepare the Salmon ---

5. 5

   Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. If using a baking dish, omit the aluminum foil/parchment paper. Spray with cooking spray or coat the bottom with a little bit of oil (olive oil or canola oil) to prevent the fish from sticking.

6. 6

   Place the salmon on the sheet pan or baking dish (skin side down). Season the salmon fillets lightly with salt and pepper.

7. 7

   Pour the Honey Ginger Glaze over the salmon, making sure both sides are coated with the glaze. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes (depending on the size and thickness of the fish) or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and garnish with sesame seeds (optional). Serve.
