Pan-Seared Salmon with Ginger-Lime Sauce

January 29, 2012 by Jaida 1 Comment

Mmm mmm good!! I absolutely love fish, and salmon is so good for you! I’m always on the look-out for new recipes, and when I ran across this one, I knew it would be delicious! I left out several items from the original recipes, mostly due to laziness (ha!), but the fish and the sauce alone were absolutely amazing. I am in love with the Ginger-Lime sauce, and now want to eat it on everything 🙂 If you are looking for something delicious to add to your menu this weekend, this is the dish for you!
Pan-Seared Salmon with Ginger-Lime Sauce
Modified from Food Network

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 (6 to 7-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 2/3 cup Ginger-Lime sauce (recipe below)
  • 1 cup rice, cooked in chicken broth

Ginger-Lime Sauce

  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
  • 1 serrano chile, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons minced ginger
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons water

Preparation

  1. For the sauce: combine the garlic, serrano, sugar, ginger, fish sauce, lime juice, and water in a small bowl and stir well. Let the flavors develop by setting the sauce aside for 30 minutes before serving.
  2. Cook rice according to package instructions.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over moderate heat. Cook the salmon fillets (2 pieces at a time), until they’re golden and just done, 3 to 4 minutes on each side depending on the thickness.
  4. About 2 minutes before the salmon is done, add the garlic slices to the oil to flavor the fish. (If the fillets are thick, cover and cook a few minutes longer.) Remove the salmon and garlic and drain on paper towels.
  5. Arrange the salmon fillet on top of rice and sprinkle a few pieces of the cooked garlic on top. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the sauce and serve immediately.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
