Ginger Salmon with Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

By Katecooks

Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets, preferably wild
• 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
• 1/2 pound fingerling potatoes, halved
• 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

In a roasting pan, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and salt. Roast for 40 minutes, until tender.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, ginger, maple syrup, vinegar and mirin. Set aside.

In a large sauté pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat and add the salmon. Pour half of the soy-ginger mixture into the pan and cook the salmon for 4 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked salmon to each of 2 serving plates. Add the remaining soy-ginger mixture to the pan and warm over medium heat.

Remove the potatoes from the oven and divided between the two plates. Pour the warmed soy-ginger sauce over the potatoes and the salmon and serve while hot.
