Raspberry-Ginger Glazed Salmon Fillets

Raspberry-Ginger Glazed Salmon Fillets balance sweet berries with a lively kick of fresh ginger and bright lemon. The glaze bakes into the fish, then caramelizes under the broiler for a glossy finish and tender, flaky texture. Serve for a special weeknight dinner or a casual dinner party when you want bold flavor with a touch of elegance.

Raspberry-Ginger Glazed Salmon Fillets
  1. 1

    Combine ginger ale and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer; stir in lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, raspberries, and sliced ginger. Return to a boil, then cook over medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Strain the sauce through a fine strainer into a clean saucepan; discard the solids.

  3. 3

    Stir sugar into the strained sauce, bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce the heat, and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool while you prepare the salmon.

  4. 4

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  5. 5

    Coat the salmon fillets with olive oil; season with sea salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Place the salmon fillets in a broiler-safe baking dish. Generously brush the salmon fillets with raspberry sauce.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is nearly opaque in the center and flakes easily, about 10 minutes.

  7. 7

    Turn on the oven's broiler and broil the fillets until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with extra sauce if desired.
