Hoisin-Glazed Salmon
Salmon is one of the richest sources of inflammation fighting omega-3 fats, and it’s also one of the few foods naturally rich in vitamin D, which plays a key role in maintaining strong bones.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets, 6 ounces each
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon white wine or rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425˚ and position a rack to the top spot. Liberally mist a baking sheet with oil spray. Place salmon skin side down (if skin is intact) and roast in the oven on the top rack for about 10 minutes.
- Set oven to broil and finish under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp the tops, if you’d like them more well done. (A general rule: Cook for about 4 minutes per ½-inch thickness of salmon, or until the internal temperatures reaches 125˚ to 130˚ for medium. Add a few more minutes if you prefer it well done; subtract a few minutes if you want it medium rare.)
- While the salmon is baking, in a small bowl, mix together the hoisin sauce, maple syrup, vinegar, and ginger to form a thick glaze. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and brush the hoisin glaze evenly over the fillets.
- Return the salmon to the oven and bake until the fillets are just opaque in the center, about 5 minutes. Transfer to platter; serve immediately.
