Ginger soy salmon. We garnished our Soy Ginger Salmon with spring onions and sesame seeds, but if you are particularly pressed for time or ingredients, it tastes lovely without them too. For a complete meal, try this Soy Ginger Salmon with rice (this brown rice is my go-to) and simply steamed or sautéed veggies. Salmon is marinated overnight in soy sauce, brown sugar, orange juice, spices, and fresh ginger; then broiled to perfection!
In a glass baking dish or large resealable plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes (if using). Transfer the salmon to a foil-lined broiler pan, skin-side down. To make the glaze, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, ginger and sesame seeds in a small bowl; set aside. You can cook Ginger soy salmon using 5 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Ginger soy salmon step by step
- Get a medium sized pan with a lid and spray down with your oil of choice.
- Lay the salmon fillets in the pan and put one tsp of avocado oil on each of the fillets. Rub very gently to spread it over the whole fillet as best as you can..
- Mix the soy sauce, ginger and maple syrup together until ginger looks broken up and take a small spoonful at a time and coat the salmon..
- Try to use up the ginger bits on the salmon so any reserved liquid can be used for the steam liquid. The less water you can add to this, the better..
- Steam for approximately 10 mins. The time will depend on how thick your fillets are but watch for the salmon to shrink to gauge cook time. Take a peek if needed..
Turn the salmon and spoon the ginger-soy glaze on top. Combine ginger, garlic, lemongrass, cilantro, brown sugar, soy sauce, sake, vinegar, chili sauce and sesame oil. Add oil to a nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Add marinated fish and cook until crisp and golden on each side and cooked through. In a large self-closing plastic bag, combine ginger, garlic, soy sauce, orange juice, honey, and green onion; mix well.
