Some dishes come together because you plan them, and some because a few simple ingredients happen to work beautifully together. This Asian Style Grilled Salmon belongs to the second kind. Fresh salmon, ginger, garlic, orange juice, soy sauce and honey create a marinade that is bright, slightly sweet and full of flavour.

As the salmon hits the hot pan, the citrus and honey begin to caramelise, giving the fish a light golden finish while keeping the inside soft and juicy. That is what makes this Grilled Salmon with Ginger and Orange feel special without being complicated.

To complete the plate, the salmon is served over stir-fried egg noodles with vegetables and finished with a simple orange sauce. The noodles soak up the flavour from the salmon, while the orange adds a fresh note that keeps the dish from feeling too heavy.

If you enjoy trying new Salmon Recipes, this one is easy enough for a regular dinner but still looks impressive on the plate. It works well as an Asian Salmon Recipe, especially when you want something different from the usual grilled fish.

This Grilled Salmon Recipe can also be made lighter by serving it with more vegetables and a smaller portion of noodles, making it a good Healthy Salmon Recipe for a balanced meal.

Marinate the salmon

Place the 200 g skinless salmon steak in a bowl. Add chopped garlic, chopped ginger, freshly squeezed orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, salt and olive oil.

Grill the salmon

Heat a grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Place an orange slice on one side of the salmon and carefully place the fish in the hot pan. Cook for approximately 2–3 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the salmon. Cook until the outside is lightly caramelised and the salmon is cooked through but still moist. This simple technique makes an easy Grilled Salmon Recipe for home cooking.

Prepare the stir-fried noodles

Heat oil in another pan and add chopped garlic. Add the cooked egg noodles, carrot juliennes, pepper, a dash of soy sauce and salt to taste. Stir-fry for a few minutes, then add chopped spring onions. The noodles make this Asian Salmon Recipe more filling and work particularly well with the orange and ginger flavours.

Make the orange sauce

Pour fresh orange juice into the pan used for grilling the salmon so you can use the flavourful pan juices. Add a little honey and salt, then simmer gently until the sauce starts to reduce. Finish with a small amount of butter for a smooth and glossy orange sauce.
