Delish Salmon Recipes

Last night I made another awesome healthy meal & forgot to take a pic for you but you'll just have to trust me!  It was the double K salmon (but I do happen to like the Ginger Glazed recipie better b/c it is sweeter) with some steamed brown rice & sauteed fresh spinach & sliced red peppers. Yes please!

Double K Salmon

2 lb atlantic salmon
1/4 c brown sugar
1/4 soy sauce
3 tbsp pineapple juice
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 garlic gloves
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp hot pepper (red pepper flake or hot sauce)

Marinate for 1 hour. Grill skin side down. (If you dont oil the grill first skin will get stuck to the grill.. which is good in a way b/c the fish comes right off the yucky skin.. but it was a big grill cleaning process to cook the skin off ..whew!) Cook covered for 5 minutes, then uncover and brush with more marinade and cook another 15-20 min.

Ginger Glazed Salmon

1.5 - 2 lbs fresh salmon
cooking spray
1/2 cup pineapple preserves (I have used orange marmalade too when in a pinch)
1.5 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1.5 tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp s & p

Preheat oven to 425. Coat baking dish with cooking spray. Place fillets in and cover w/ preserves mixture. Bake @ 325 for 15 minutes or until fish flakes. (Fish thicker than 1 inch thick takes longer).
