Ginger Glazed Salmon

I am one of those strange people who walk in to a store in search of the weirdest, strangest and often times, very gross food concoctions. You would never want to accompany me to a county fair! Anyways a while back we were wandering through Cost Plus World Market (I love that store) and we managed to pick up TONS of weird, strange and this time very gross foods. Cake batter beer, pepper beer, chocolate wine, crab popcorn, lobster pate, tabasco chocolate, pickled ginger, raspeberry, chocolate and chili jelly, and last but not least this amazing syrup. If you have yet to try this ingreadable ginger syrup I urge you to go get it NOW… what are you waiting for?

As I mentioned a lot of my delicacies weren’t worth the money but this however was not one of them. I’ve used this on pancakes, waffles and was just awaiting the opportunity to use it on something a little more savory. Here was my chance and it in no way fell short.

Recipe: Ginger Glazed Salmon

Ingredients

4 salmon filets
Salt and pepper
½ cup ginger syrup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season filets with salt and pepper.
Whisk remaining ingredients together.
Lay salmon filets skin side down in 9”x13” baking dish. Using a pastry brush, spread a thick layer of the ginger-soy glaze over tops and sides of salmon.
Bake 20-25 minutes until flesh flakes when tested with a fork.
Baste filets a couple of times with the glaze. Place on platter and serve.
