Preparation
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, lime juice, ginger and garlic. Pour the marinade into a shallow baking dish and add the salmon filets. Allow the salmon to marinate for ten minutes. Flip the filets and allow them to marinate for ten more minutes. (No need to refrigerate!)
Step 2
While the salmon is marinating, prepare your Asian Beet Slaw. First, you’ll need to toast the sesame seeds. Heat a small pan over medium heat. When hot, add the sesame seeds and toast for about 1 minute until they are golden brown. In a large bowl, combine the beets, carrots, cabbage, oranges and scallions. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, ginger and garlic. Pour dressing over the beet slaw and toss to coat. Set aside while you cook the salmon.
Step 3
Remove the salmon filets from the marinade and lightly season both sides with salt and fresh ground pepper. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan.
Step 4
Heat two tablespoons olive oil in a large pan. When hot, add the salmon filets and cook for 4 minutes on each side or until salmon is just cooked through.
Step 5
Bring the marinade to a boil and lower to a simmer. Reduce the marinade by half until it becomes thick and syrupy. (This should take 3-4 minutes.) Voila, ginger-soy glaze!
Step 6
Brush each salmon filet with ginger soy-glaze and serve over Asian beet slaw if you're into that.
