Wild Alaska Sockeye Salmon with Citrus Glaze
Boaters, Try This Recipe: Wild Alaska Sockeye Salmon with Citrus Glaze. This Wild Alaska Sockeye Salmon recipe is one of the most effortless ways to make salmon taste great without breaking your budget! This citrus-glazed sockeye salmon is similar to broiling with lemon slices on the fish itself, but the glaze helps caramelize in and enhance the flavor of the meat itself. This recipe is extremely heart healthy as well as just plain healthy in general, and goes great with a vegetable side of choice. Rice also makes an amazing addition, as it will take on both the flavor of the fish and citrus when they mingle.
Ingredients:
1 side, skin-on Wild Alaska Sockeye Salmon, 1.5 to 2lbs
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparing the Meal
- Position a rack in the oven 3 inches from the broiler. Line a half sheet pan with aluminum foil and place the salmon on the pan.
- Place the sugar, zest, salt, and pepper into the bowl of a small food processor and process for 1 minute or until well combined. Evenly spread the mixture onto the salmon and allow to sit for 45 minutes, at room temperature.
Cook Til Internal Temperature is 131F
- Turn the oven on to the high broiler setting for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, place the salmon into the oven and broil for 6 to 8 minutes or until the thickest part of the fish reaches an internal temperature of 131 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and allow to rest, uncovered, for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
