- Add salmon fillet, turning to coat in the marinade. Marinate in fridge 2-3 hours.1 to 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Create a tent from foil and place salmon without marinade in it. Seal tent but leave room for air to circulate around fish.
- Place fish in 400 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. Then turn to broil, and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- While salmon cooks, pour reserved marinade into a saucepan and boil for five to seven minutes to reduce it.
- When the salmon is cooked, pour the sauce over the fish and serve immediately.
Notes
- Cooking time will depend somewhat on the thickness of your fillets. You can check on it to see if it is done. When it flakes easily and is no longer bright pink inside, it is done. Salmon is best eaten medium rare rather than fully cooked through.
- If you want to make the reserved marinade more of a glaze to brush on your salmon at the end, make a slurry with a little cornstarch and cold water and pour that into the marinade as you boil it. This lets it thicken it up nicely.
