Best Chinese Glazed Salmon Recipes

ASIAN-GLAZED SALMON RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the soy sauce/coconut aminos, sugar, hoisin sauce, ginger, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a medium small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce forms a glaze. Stir the mixture regularly to ensure that it doesn't burn. Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on a broiler pan or a wire cooling rack (on top of a baking sheet), coated with cooking spray. Baste the salmon with some of the glaze and let it sit for 15 minutes. Brush a bit more glaze on each salmon fillet and sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional).
• Place in the oven to bake for 6-8 minutes. Then, turn the oven to the BROIL setting and broil the salmon on the top rack until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with more glaze (if desired). Allow to cool for 2 minutes and serve.

ASIAN GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine the Marinade ingredients in a shallow bowl. Add salmon and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• Heat grill/broiler on high. Place the rack 25 cm / 10" from the heat source.
• Place salmon on baking tray (no oil required). Scrape all the excess glaze from the bowl onto the salmon.
• Grill/broil for 7 to 10 minutes, until the top of the salmon is beautifully caramelised. Be careful not to overcook the salmon!
• Serve salmon sprinkled with sesame seeds, scallions/shallots with rice and steamed Asian greens on the side.

GINGER-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, maple syrup, Chinese mustard, sriracha and garlic in a large bowl. Pour one-third into a small bowl and reserve. Add the salmon fillets to the large bowl. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the skillet. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Baste the flesh side with the reserved marinade. Flip and cook until the salmon is cooked through and the flesh side is golden brown, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Top with the scallions.

SWEET GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 teaspoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Saute garlic in hot oil until just beginning to brown.
• Mix sauteed garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, brown sugar, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl; pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add salmon fillets, turning to coat with the marinade, squeeze bag to remove excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Remove salmon from the marinade and shake to remove excess liquid. Reserve 3 tablespoons marinade and discard remainder.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange salmon fillets in the hot skillet, pour reserved marinade over the salmon, and place a lid on the skillet; cook until salmon is browned on each side and flakes easily with a fork, occasionally spooning liquid from the pan over the fillets, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Garnish salmon with additional sea salt and black pepper.

THE BEST HONEY-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray if you plan on eating the salmon skin. (If you do not plan on eating the skin, you can skip this step.) Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk together the honey, lime zest, and juice in a small bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons of the mixture to another small bowl and set aside. Brush the remaining honey-lime mixture over top of the salmon fillets.
• Combine the brown sugar, cumin, paprika, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon (about 1 heaping teaspoon on each portion). Crimp all 4 sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon to help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the glaze is shiny and turning golden in some spots, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Drizzle the reserved honey-lime mixture over top of the salmon just before serving.

CHINESE GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• 1. Turn on the broiler. Position the rack about 4 inches from the heat.
• 2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, flesh-side down, and sauté until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Turn, season the fish with salt and pepper to taste, spread the barbecue sauce over the flesh side, and drape three half-slices of bacon diagonally over the top of each fillet.
• 3. Transfer the fish to the broiler and cook until the bacon is crisp and the salmon is just cooked through, about 10 minutes for 1-inch-thick salmon fillets. Remove, sprinkle with scallions, and serve.

GLAZED SESAME SALMON

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Over medium heat, fry both sides of the fish for 2-3 mins on each side until the salmon skin becomes crispy.
• Pour off excess oil from frying pan. Add the sauce and fold the sauce over until the fish is evenly coated.
