This Ginger Glazed Salmon is salmon as simple and delicious as it gets. The sweet and savory glaze also tastes great on tofu or drizzled over vegetables.

Time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- ½ cup sake
- 2 Tbs. reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbs. brown sugar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 2-inch piece ginger, sliced
- ½ tsp. cornstarch
- 4 6 oz. skinless center-cut salmon fillets
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 1 Tbs. slivered ginger
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a small pan, whisk together the sake, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, sliced ginger, and cornstarch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until reduced to a syrupy consistency, 3-5 minutes. Strain into a small bowl, extracting as much glaze as possible. Discard the solids.
- Place the fish, skinned side down, on a rimmed, lined baking pan. Spoon the glaze over the fish. Bake until the thinner end of fish flakes easily with a fork, 8-12 minutes. Remove, cover with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle the fish with the scallions and slivered ginger.
