Healthy Recipes #1 : Teriyaki Salmon with Ginger 🍛

Teriyaki sauce does not have to be complicated or unhealthy. Teriyaki refers to the cooking technique involving in grilling or broiling foods in a soy-mirin glaze. Mirin is a rice wine with a high sugar content and low alcohol level, which makes it perfect for creating a caramel-like sheen on fish and meats. This recipe uses honey instead of mirin because it is more commonly available. If you want to try a more traditional preparation, you can find mirin in most grocery stores or Asian markets.

🍛 ​Ingredients

✶ 2 tablespoons honey
✶ 2 tablespoons low-sodium tamari sauce
✶ 1 teaspoon peeled, grated fresh ginger
✶ 2 (6-ounce) skinless salmon fillets

🍛 ​Directions
1. In a small bowl, stir together the honey, tamari, and ginger until well blended.
2. Place the salmon in a baking dish and spoon the sauce over it, spreading it out. Cover the dish and let the salmon marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
4. Place the salmon in the baking pan and spoon any leftover marinade over the fish. Bake until the salmon is opaque, about 12 minutes.

💡 TIP : If you tend to use a lot of fresh ginger in your meals, it is a good idea to get a Microplane grater. This handy mini kitchen tool can reduce the most fibrous ginger to a smooth, uniform paste.
