Honey Ginger Grilled Salmon

“My wife is vegetarian and does not eat any fish or vegetables. She is 4 months pregnant right now, however, and has been craving fish. She has eaten Tuna Fish on sandwiches and grew tired of this quickly, still leaving her with a fish craving. I made this recipe for her and she loved it. I marinated for 1/2 hour and then wrapped it in foil with the marinade and baked at 375 for 45 minutes and it turned out great! I could still taste the salmon and the marinade complimented it well.”

“Well I did this a little different.I baked it instead of grilling,and used Mahi-Mahi instead of Salmon, but the result was the same.Fantastic, my husband was thrilled!I will be using this recipe again!!!”

“Wonderful. A big hit. I followed the tin foil advice and it came out great, but I opened the foil for the last five minutes to brown the top.Buy an extra pound of salmon and make some for sandwiches the next day; my leftovers that had been sitting in their juices in the fridge overnight were almost better than the hot dish!”

“This was my first attempt to cook grilled salmon and oh, was I pleased with the results!It is an easy recipe to fix and even easier on the palate to eat.I really like ginger so I think next time I’ll increase that particular ingredient.Looking forward to making it again.”

“Mmmmm….this was delicious! I cooked this one outdoors over charcoal, it turned it great! The honey gives a delicate sweetness without being overpowering. I love grilled fish, it’s so healthy for you. Great dinner, with no leftovers! Thanks, Mirjam! :)”

“We really liked this recipe – I used lemonade instead of orange juice when I made it and it was good…will try orange juice next time.”

“Really nice flavour combination, I wrapped the salmon in foil and baked in the oven, very tender.”

“Oooooo…this was a delicious recipe!I highly recommend letting this marinate the full 30 minutes if you can.I gave it 15-20 minutes myself, and I think a longer time would have penetrated the sauce into the fish more.I used a Foreman grill to grill these, and while the fish looked a little burnt by the time it was done, it was really the marinade that was burnt and it actually gave more of a crust effect without the burnt taste.I highly recommend this marinade to anyone, and I think I might try it on some other meat as well.Thanks for posting!”

“this recipe has got to be the best…! the salmon turned out so juicy and tasty! thanks!”

“We loved this!I used freshly grated ginger in place of the powder.Our grill is covered with a foot and a half of snow so I baked this at 350° for 15 minutes, basting once halfway through.It was perfect!Thanks Mirj for the lovely recipe!”

“I used this as a base recipe and changed it up a little. I didnt really measure much either, I tend to guestimate on measurements. I was told once that maple syrup and soy sauce was a fabulous marinade for salmon. So i thought I would substitute the honey out and used maple syrup instead. I also used pineapple orange juice instead of plain orange juice (that is what I had on hand). I did use the ground ginger and garlic powder too. The marinade was fantastic. After the salmon was done marinating, i reduced the marinade to make a dipping sauce.”

“My wife demands this every weekend.If we miss a weekend, she starts asking me on Monday if we’re going to make this the upcoming weekend.Had family in for a visit & I said I was making salmon.I could see the sneer (meat eaters).They just kept talking about how good it was.I keep to the recipe except I usually let it marinade for a couple of hours.I have recently started using orange-pinapple juice instead of just orange juice.Maybe even better.Keep the lid on the grill.Better than any salmon I have ever had at a resturant!”

“Delicious – followed the recipe exactly but cooked the salmon in the oven (baking it at 425 using the same time as indicated) instead of grilling. Marinade is delicioius and I think it will be wonderful on chicken also just increasing the marinating time. Thanks for sharing.”

“You’ve got a great combination of flavors in this marinade. I would’ve never thought to include ginger in a marinade, but I’m glad I tried it out. mmm mmm good.. I’ll definitely be using this again for my fish!”

“This recipe was really simple to make, and tasted great. I liked the sweet flavor of the honey, it was subtle and mixed well with the fish. I would recommend marinating overnight. Thanks again.”

“Simply fabulous! The only difference was that I used fresh ginger and garlic, turn the remaining marinade into a teriyaki sauce by adding brown sugar and corn flour to use as it’s sauce when serve. My family love it so much! Thank you for sharing!”

“Made this in a tin foil packet over the bbq and it was incredible!Also used the sauce over rice, yum.”

“We served these to our guests.Grilled in tin foil, with the top open, and they came out moist and yummy.I think next time I will use a little less honey.”

“We grill salmon at least twice a month but I’d never used a marinade.Well, I will from now on!This was enjoyed by the whole family.Very subtle ginger flavor and slightly sweet with the honey.”
