EASY BAKED ASIAN ORANGE SALMON (OR TROUT)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F., with the oven rack in the centre of the oven.
• Add a little olive or cooking oil onto a baking sheet and use a brush to evenly coat the bottom of the baking sheet. Set aside.
• Pat the salmon or trout fillets dry with paper towel. Brush the top of the salmon lightly with olive oil, then season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Lay the fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, skin side down.
• Make the sauce by stirring together all the sauce ingredients. Set aside until needed.
• *Note: Baking time will vary depending on the size/thickness of your fish. Your first baking period should produce a fish that is cooked/lighter coloured on the outside, but still not quite cooked through the thickest part. Extend your baking time if needed.When oven is preheated, place the salmon into the oven and roast for 10 minutes. (Fish should be cooked-looking on the outside edges with the thicker middle still a little pink at this point). Remove from oven and baste the fish generously with some of the sauce and place a few orange slices on top, if desired. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes. (Fish should be evenly coloured at this point.
• Remove fish from oven and again baste generously. Switch the oven from the Bake setting to the Broil setting (use the "Hi" setting if your oven has both Hi and Lo). Return the fish to the oven to the same middle oven rack and broil for 1 minute. Baste again and broil for another 1-2 minutes. Watch closely so the sauce doesn't begin to scorch, as that will introduce a bitter taste to the sauce.
• Remove from oven and spoon any sauce that may be in the pan over-top of the salmon. Serve immediately.

GINGER SOY FISH RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut to the fish into thick, but bite size pieces. Add corn starch to the fish fillet.
• Coat the fish with the corn starch. Set aside.
• Peel the ginger, slice and cut into thin strips.
• Mix all the ingredients for the Sauce in a small bowl. Stir to mix well and make sure that the sugar melts.
• Heat up a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned wok with the cooking oil on medium to high heat. When the oil is fully heated, add the ginger and stir-fry until they turn light brown. Remove them from the oil and set aside in a bowl.
• Using the ginger-infused oil, pan fry the fish until both surface turn light to golden brown. Make sure you turn the fish very gently with spatula or tong, or preferably with a pair of long cooking chopsticks. Fish fillets are very delicate; you don't want to break them up while pan-frying.
• Add the Sauce to the fish. As soon as the sauce bubbles. Turn off the heat and dish out. Top the fish with the ginger strips and scallion. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
