Pickled Ginger Baked Salmon Recipes

GINGER ROASTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a rack and spray with cooking spray.
• Place salmon, skin side down, on rack. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, ginger, honey, and oil until well combined. Pour 1 teaspoon of the mixture over each salmon fillet; season with salt and pepper. Roast until just cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Transfer salmon to serving plates and drizzle each with an additional teaspoon of the ginger mixture. Serve immediately.

HOMEMADE PICKLED GINGER (GARI)

Steps:

• Cut the ginger into chunks and place them into a bowl. Sprinkle with sea salt, stir to coat and let stand for about 30 minutes. Transfer the ginger to a clean jar.
• In a saucepan, stir together the rice vinegar and sugar until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil, then pour the boiling liquid over the ginger root pieces in the jar.
• Allow the mixture to cool, then put the lid on the jar and store in the refrigerator for at least one week. You will see that the liquid will change to slightly pinkish in few minutes. Don't be alarmed because it's the reaction of rice vinegar that causes the change. Only quality rice vinegar can do that! Some commercial pickled ginger has red coloring added. Cut pieces of ginger into paper thin slices for serving.

GARI: JAPANESE PICKLED GINGER

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Wash the young ginger root and scrape off any brown spots with a spoon. Then scrape off all the skin with a scraper or peel the ginger by hand.
• Slice the ginger thinly and salt the slices. Leave salted ginger slices in a bowl for about 1 hour.
• Dry the ginger slices with paper towels and put them in a sterilized, heat-resistant container or jar.
• Mix the rice vinegar and sugar in a pan and bring to a boil until the strong vinegar aroma has evaporated.
• Pour the hot vinegar and sugar mixture over the ginger slices. If you want to keep the ginger spicy, pour out the liquid after about 1 minute. Otherwise, let the mixture sit for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Drain the slices in a colander and let them cool by placing them on a paper towel in a single layer. The pickled ginger should change its color to light pink; if you are using old ginger, it might not turn pink naturally.
• With clean hands, squeeze the liquid out of the slices and place them in a jar.
