Description
A delightful dish that combines sweet and savory flavors with perfectly glazed salmon and fresh nectarines.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 fresh nectarines, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by whisking together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl.
- Marinate the salmon by placing it in a shallow dish or resealable bag, pouring the marinade over it, and refrigerating for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the nectarines salsa by combining diced nectarines, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice in a separate bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the salmon by preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C), heating olive oil in an oven-safe skillet, cooking the salmon skin-side down for 3-4 minutes, flipping it, pouring the remaining marinade over, and baking for 8-10 minutes.
- Finish with a drizzle of the sticky glaze from the skillet over the cooked salmon. Top each fillet with a generous spoonful of the fresh nectarine salsa just before serving.
Notes
- For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Replace honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Use peaches instead of nectarines if out of season.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat salmon in the oven at 350°F to avoid drying out.
