Amaretto Salmon Recipes

AMARETTO ORIENTAL SALMON

• Lightly coat a shallow roasting pan with vegetable oil spray. Place the salmon in the pan, skin side down, and bake for 10 minutes.
• In a small saucepan pour the remaining marinade and bring to a boil. Let this reduce for 10 minutes.
• Place fillets on a serving platter or large plate and pour reduced marinade over the top. Serve immediately.

SIX HEALTHY SALMON MARINADE RECIPES

Steps:

• Add all marinade ingredients to a small bowl and mix together.
• Add salmon to a glass container or plastic bag and pour marinade sauce overtop. Container should be small enough so that salmon can soak up the sauce. Seal the bag/container and let sit in fridge for 1-2 hours before cooking. Salmon can also marinade overnight in the fridge.
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place salmon fillet skin side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until salmon is easily flaked with a fork. (If you have small salmon fillets, just cook for less time).
• Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat with cooking oil. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon so skin side is facing up. Cook for 2-3 minutes then flip over so skin side is down. Pour the leftover marinade sauce over top of the salmon and cook for another 3-5 minutes. I like to watch the clock during this time because I'm not a fan of overcooked salmon.
• At this point, depending on how thick the salmon is, the sides of the salmon should have just turned white and it should be cooked. To check you can use a fork to see if the salmon flakes easily. If it does, and the insides aren't translucent, then it's cooked. Remove from heat.
• Heat barbecue to medium heat, place salmon on the grill, skin side up. Cover and let cook for about 5 minutes, then flip. Pour extra marinade over top and cook an additional 5 minutes. Salmon will be done when easily flaked with a fork.
• Lightly coat the inside of the air fryer tray or basket with olive oil or cooking spray. Add the salmon fillets skin side up to the tray. Cook at 400°F for 10 minutes, then flip them over and pour leftover marinade on top. Cook an additional 10 minutes, or until fully cooked.

AMARETTO SALMON

Steps:

• Wash salmon and pat dry.
• Place skin side down on foil lined baking sheet.
• Season with salt and pepper, cover with a thin layer of dijon mustard.
• Sprinkle bread crumbers over salmon.
• Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes depending upon thickness of salmon.
• When it is almost done, turn oven to broil, move salmon up and broil for 5 minutes or until breadcrumbs are golden brown.
• Remove from oven. Salmon should easily release from skin. Place on plates.
• While salmon is broiling, melt butter in a small saucepan.
• Add amaretto.
• Cook for one minute.
• Pour over salmon.
• I usually serve this with herb buttered noodles but it would also be really good with a nice rice pilaf.
