Asian Glazed Broiled Salmon

Ginger Soy Glazed Broiled Salmon

This Ginger Soy Glazed Broiled Salmon is the ultimate weeknight dinner solution, delivering restaurant-quality flavor in under 20 minutes. By using the broiler, you achieve a perfectly caramelized, crisp exterior while keeping the salmon tender and flaky inside. The savory-sweet glaze—infused with fresh ginger, garlic, and low-sodium soy sauce—thickens into a rich lacquer that pairs beautifully with the buttery richness of the fish.

Whether you are looking for a high-protein meal or a quick centerpiece for a dinner party, this recipe is naturally packed with Omega-3s and fits seamlessly into a balanced lifestyle. Serve it over a bed of rice or alongside bok choy for a complete, vibrant meal. I love to pair this with a brown and forbidden rice mix and drizzled with chili crisp.

Instructions

1. Combine all the marinade ingredients: soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and garlic. Whisk together until the brown sugar dissolves.
2. In a shallow container, combine the salmon fillets with marinade, skin side up. The top of the salmon should be submerged in the marinade. Cover and marinate for 25 minutes in the fridge. After 25 minutes, take the salmon out of the fridge and flip the salmon over, skin side down, so that the skin side of the salmon is now submerged in the marinade. Let that sit for 5 minutes.
3. Line a sheet pan with foil. Set the top oven rack to the top most position. Turn on the broil setting to 2. Place the salmon on the sheet pan, skin side up. Broil salmon for 3 minutes.
4. After three minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven. The skin should look crispy. Using tongs, pull the skin off the salmon filets. You can keep or discard the skin.
5. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt on the newly peeled salmon. Return to oven and broil for 2 more minutes. After 2 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. You should see sizzling of the oils on the salmon and the edges turning brown and crispy. Flip the salmon over. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt on each salmon and return to oven for 4 minutes.
6. After 4 minutes, the salmon is done. Remove from oven and set it sit on the sheet pan for 5 minutes before plating. The salmon should be sizzling with golden brown crispy edges.
