GRILLED SALMON WITH LEMON AND GINGER

Steps:

• In a small bowl or measuring cup whisk together lemon juice, soy sauce, oil, sugar and ginger.

• Place salmon in a shallow dish and pour the rest of the marinade over the top.
• Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, turning once or twice.
• Grill or broil salmon over medium heat, turning once with a wide spatula and brushing with excess marinade until salmon is cooked to your liking (about 10 minutes depending on thickness.)
• Sprinkle with pepper and serve with reserved marinade for drizzling.

SEAR-ROASTED SALMON WITH LEMON GINGER BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 500°F.
• Combine the butter, lemon juice, ginger and chives in a small bowl. Set aside and keep at room temperature while the salmon cooks.
• Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. Add olive oil to skillet.
• Sprinkle salmon fillets with salt and pepper. When the oil is very hot, add the fillets to the skillet and cook until browned, about 1 - 2 minutes.
• Flip the fish over and place the skillet in the hot oven. Roast for about 4 - 5 minutes. Check with the tip of a knife to make sure the salmon is done.
• Remove the pan from the oven, and immediately transfer the fillets to a serving plate and top each fillet with a dab of the lemon ginger butter.
