Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon steaks
- 2 tablespoons, finely grated fresh ginger
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 2 sliced thin jalapenos
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh cilantro
Instructions
Rinse the salmon steaks under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them in a large, shallow dish or a sealable plastic bag.
In a small bowl, mix together the grated ginger, minced garlic, sliced jalapenos, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the salmon steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag, and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the salmon steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, but do not discard the marinade.
Place the salmon steaks in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon cooks, pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to create a sauce.
Once the salmon is cooked through, transfer it to a serving platter and drizzle the cooked marinade sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh cilantro (if desired) and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice or sautéed vegetables.
