Toasted Sesame Ginger Salmon.
Heeeey.
Peek at my video for Toasted Sesame Ginger Salmon!
Right now, I’m staring blankly at this picture of hairy ginger.
Sort of freaky right?
It’s last night.
I’m watching new-school 90210, as opposed to old-school 90210.
I’m realizing that my constant mention of television shows is making it sound like I 1. have no life and 2. am a complete couch potato.
I ate 5-day old soup for dinner followed by copious handfuls of mini chocolate chips.
That soup that was supposed to be my husband’s lunch today.
I strategically have a blanket placed over my head to cover my entire face when that stupid Silent House movie preview comes on during every single commercial break.
Am currently debating on emptying my remaining Kate Spade shopping cart contents… into my virtual bag. Also trying to figure out how I can strategically sleep on my hair-salonified mane while keeping it “country star big” for tomorrow. Which is really today. Which really just consists of cooking four recipes, eating four recipes, exercising and making a general mess of things – all deemed big hair worthy. Realizing that my current headache prooooobably has something to do with my big hair. But at least that headache gave me free reign to hang out and watch one of the greatest movies of all time: Father of the Bride.
My taste is impeccable.
And I’m pretty sure that my capability of discussing any and everything BUT toasted sesame ginger salmon, including my current whereabouts and scattered brain, also have to do with this big hair. Because it just doesn’t seem right that you eat salmon with big hair. Right? I feel like I should be eating grits or something. And swallowing my stereotyping.
But… I’m going to break the rules.
It’s no secret that we are huge, huge salmon fans up in this piece. I love salmon every which way ‘til Sunday (whatever that means) but given my recent fascination with all things toasted and sesame-like, this rocked my tiny flavor bubble. Broiling the fish is my favorite way to prepare it since it develops a somewhat crunchy crust, but you can make this however you choose and have dinner on the table within an hour or less. We ate it with rice one night, had leftovers with pasta the next, and then finally my husband stuffed it between toasted buns for the most perfect sandwich ever. Don’t even say it.
And now I feel compelled to tell you that I haven’t eaten a single vegetable in three whole days. Things are looking up.
Toasted Sesame Ginger Salmon
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds raw salmon
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
- 1 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
- 1-2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 4 green onions, sliced
sesame ginger honey glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack over top. Spray the rack with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl or baking dish, combine olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, vinegar, brown sugar and whisk well until combined. Add salmon to the dish or place everything in a ziplock bag, then refrigerate and marinate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler in your oven. (Or preheat your grill, etc if you prefer to use something else.)
- Remove salmon with kitchen tongs and place directly on the wire rack. Sprinkle with a little bit of salt and pepper, then place directly under the broiler. Cook for 10-12 minutes, depending on the salmon’s thickness (our’s was just about an inch thick), until opaque and easily flakable with a fork. You can flip the salmon halfway through cooking if desired.
- Remove and serve immediately, with a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds, green onions and the glaze below.
sesame ginger honey glaze
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour over salmon.

really good recipe prep time a little long but really good salmon plus we had the angel hair scallion pasta mm good
How long would you need to bake or broil if you are substituting the salmon with chicken?

I made this for dinner tonight and we really enjoyed it. It reminds me how much I enjoy salmon when it’s flavored well. I had extra glaze so I incorporated it into the wild rice that I served as a side dish. It was a yummy addition. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

This dinner was delicious! Can’t wait to make it again. My 4 year old daughter who is a very picky eater even enjoyed it :)
Sooo, funny story.
My oven totally caught on fire when I was about 4 minutes into broiling this! I have the glaze sitting on the counter, and I made the mistake of tasting it after the salmon-destroying fire occurred. Holy heck, it is amazing. I just ordered Chinese takeout since flame-charred salmon doesn’t sound so great, and plan to dunk my eggrolls and dumplings in the glaze. I will be trying this again, but perhaps in a 400 degree oven instead of my scary flame-shooting broiler!
At least one of the 5 firemen who showed up was nice to look at :)

I saw this on Pinterest and had to make it. We are stationed in AK and my husband just got back from dip-netting for Salmon. Even though he got tons of Salmon, he is not a big fan of it. So when I saw this recipe I had to try it (we grilled ours). He, my 2 yr old daughter and I loved it. I will be using this recipe again and again and again. You are truly an awesome chef!!! Thank you for sharing!

My boyfriend’s mom came over for dinner tonight, and I made this dish. HUGE success! I paired it with roasted mushrooms, broccoli rabe w/ shallots, and asian cucumber salad and a green salad w/ cabbage and slivered almonds. My bf said it’s the best salmon dish I’ve ever made. Please keep in mind that I cook every night, and we eat a LOT of fish. Thank you for a super easy recipe! I had every ingredient in my pantry but had never paired them all together this well! If you’re thinking about making this, just do it…you won’t be disappointed.
I just made it for dinner tonight- boyfriend and I LOVED it :)

This looks amazing! Just went to the store and bought all the ingredients to make this tonight! One quick question … do you remove the skin? and if so any tips on doing it? thanks!
If I buy salmon with skin on, I usually don’t remove the skin until after cooking. Otherwise it’s just too hard for me. I broil it skin-side down and then it usually slides right off!

That mouthwatering picture of the salmon on Pinterest was what prompted me to click through to your website and read the entire post. This looks so good. I have no idea what the big hair has anything to do with but more power to ya. Either way, I know what I want sandwiched in between my toasted buns next time I’m feeling lonely and ravenous ;)

Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but, I’d like to send you an email.
I’ve got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.
I hardly comment, but I read some of the responses on Toasted Sesame Ginger Salmon | How Sweet It Is.
I actually do have 2 questions for you if you do not mind.
Could it be only me or do a few of these responses look like they are left by brain dead visitors?
:-P And, if you are posting at additional online sites, I would
like to follow anything new you have to post.
Would you list of the complete urls of all your social networking pages
