Ingredients

  • 85 grams (½ cup) brown sugar
  • 80 ml (⅓ cup) tamari
  • 30 ml (2 tablespoons) gluten-free hoisin sauce
  • 30 ml (2 tablespoons) peeled and minced fresh ginger
  • .6 ml (⅛ teaspoon) crushed red pepper (cayenne)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 15 ml (1 tablespoon) freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 5 ml (1 teaspoon) dark sesame oil
  • 750 grams (1½ pounds) salmon fillet

Preparation

  1. Whisk all the ingredients except the salmon in a small bowl until blended. Pour half of this marinade over the salmon, turning until covered. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

    Place the remaining marinade in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 14 minutes or until the marinade forms a glaze.

    Pre-heat broiler. Place the salmon on a broiler pan. Broil salmon until cooked through, about 8 minutes.

    Remove salmon from the broiler. Transfer to a platter and brush glaze over the salmon. Serve immediately with hot steaming rice.
