Spiced honey and soy salmon
Posted on | November 18, 2008 |
These days I only tend to buy dark red wild salmon , the flavour and texture is quite superior to the pink fillets of salmon you can buy. Salmon is rich, robust fish that goes well with strong spices, and dark flavours such as soy and star anise. This recipe for salmon is very easy to do as you can make the marinade well in advance. I have never tried leaving the salmon in the marinade for longer than 10 mins or so, but I’m sure the longer you leave it, the more flavour of the marinade salmon takes on.
Ingredients:
One half of a star anise
1/2 tsp of five spice
1/2 tsp of paprika
Salt & Pepper
1 tbsp of runny honey
1 tbsp of dark soy
1 tsp of tomato ketchup
Half a thumb of fresh ginger, chopped
1 large garlic clove, chopped
Sprinkle of rock salt and pepper
1tsp of sesame oil
Two wild salmon fillets.
- Pre-heat a grill to it’s hottest setting.
- Bash up the star anise, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper in a pestle and mortar until you have a paste like consistency.
- Add all the other marinade ingredients to the pestle and mortar and mix well.
- With the salmon skin side down, spread the marinade over liberally. The marinade should be fairly sticky so it should coat well. Be sure to apply the marinade to the sides of the fish.
- Place the salmon fillets under the hot grill for 5-6 mins for a pink inside. The marinade on top of the fish should have bubbled and become very sticky.
Serve with brown rice and green vegetables.
