Ginger soy salmon

I wanted to make something healthy and delicious tonight and I did!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb of salmon, cut into little rectangles (1 by 2”)
  • 1 stalk of green onions, chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 5 slices of ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar (divided)
  • 3 tablespoons of rice wine
  • 2 teaspoons of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of cornstarch (optional)
  • Water as needed
  • Oil for cooking

Tips:

  • I marinated mine for about an hour, but you definitely don’t have to and it’ll taste just as good.
  • Slow and steady really wins the race here!

How to serve:

Directions:

  • In a bowl, mix the salmon with salt, half of the sugar, half of the soy sauce, and half of the rice wine. Add in the cornstarch if you have it.
  • Cover and set aside for 1 hour.
  • Mince the garlic.
  • Chop the green onions and divide the green parts from the white parts.
  • Mince the ginger.
  • In a pan, heat up canola oil.
  • Place the salmon skin side up into the heated pan, and cook for 2 minutes on medium high fire.
  • Turn the fire down to medium low, and place the white parts of the green onions, the ginger, and the garlic into the pan.
  • Pour about 1/2 cup of water over the salmon and the green onions/ginger/garlic mixture.
  • Put the lid on and cook for about 3 minutes.
  • Open the lid and put the rest of the sugar, soy sauce, and rice wine into the pan.
  • Turn the salmon pieces over and cover with the lid to cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Take the salmon out of the pan and garnish with the green parts of the green onions.
  • Ready to serve.
