Grilled salmon with ginger orange mustard glaze

Grilled salmon with ginger and orange mustard glaze is a recipe that combines fresh and vibrant flavors, reflecting a fusion between traditional techniques and a modern touch. Although salmon is a fish native to the cold waters of the northern hemisphere, this preparation has become popular in various regions of Latin America, adapting to local tastes with native ingredients and outdoor cooking methods, especially in areas where grilling is a culinary tradition.

In different Latin American countries, this recipe may have various names depending on the predominant ingredients or the method of preparation. In Mexico, it might simply be called "Grilled Salmon with Citrus Glaze," while in Argentina or Chile, countries known for their grilling culture, it might be referred to as "Grilled Salmon with Mustard and Orange Sauce." Its popularity is due to the balanced mix of the sweetness of the honey and orange, the spicy touch of ginger, and the intensity of the mustard, resulting in a healthy, aromatic dish perfect for sharing at family gatherings or celebrations.

How to Prepare Grilled Salmon with Ginger and Orange Mustard Glaze

Combine fresh orange juice, tamari, cream sherry, Dijon mustard, freshly grated ginger, and honey in a large resealable plastic bag.

Add the salmon fillets to the bag, making sure they are well coated with the mixture.

Seal the bag and marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow it to absorb all the flavors.

Remove the salmon from the bag, reserving the marinade to use during cooking.

Prepare the grill or broiler by spraying the surface with non-stick spray to prevent the fish from sticking.

Cook the salmon fillets for 6 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Baste the salmon frequently with the reserved marinade to intensify its flavor and achieve a shiny glaze.

Place the remaining marinade in a saucepan and bring it to a boil to use as a side sauce.

Serve the salmon accompanied with the warm sauce and garnish with green onion fans for a fresh and colorful touch.
