Honey Soy Glazed Grilled Salmon with Quinoa
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the honey soy glaze.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the honey soy glaze over them. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- While the salmon is marinating, rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water or chicken broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is grilling, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked quinoa and sauté for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Serve the grilled salmon over a bed of quinoa, garnished with chopped green onions. Enjoy!
Grilled Salmon with Quinoa marinated in a honey soy glaze is a delightful fusion of flavors and textures. This dish has its roots in the Pacific Northwest, where fresh salmon is abundant and quinoa has gained popularity as a superfood. Renowned chefs like Tom Douglas in Seattle have elevated this dish to new heights, infusing it with their signature flair. The succulent salmon is marinated in a luscious blend of honey and soy, imparting a perfect balance of sweetness and umami. The quinoa adds a nutty crunch, complementing the tender fish. For the best version of this dish, head to Seattle's iconic seafood restaurants, where the freshest catch meets expert culinary craftsmanship. The key to nailing this dish lies in the quality of the salmon and the finesse of the marinade. Alternatively, consider grilling the salmon on cedar planks for a smoky twist that pays homage to traditional Pacific Northwest cooking techniques.
