Tamari and Ginger Salmon

My mom and dad came to visit us this past weekend. We had a wonderful long weekend!

Our special treat was a dinner made by my father. We ventured out to Sam's Club to get all the ingredients we needed to make that night's feast!

One of the dishes on the menu for that night was dad's delicious tamari and ginger baked salmon.

Fresh ginger has many beneficial properties. It is found to have powerful cancer- destroying action and anti- inflammatory properties.

The active compounds are called terpenes and gingerols.

It is best to use fresh ginger root (picture below) rather than other forms such as ground or preserved because you will find the highest amount of beneficial compounds in the fresh form.


Tamari and Ginger Salmon

What you will need:

  • Fresh salmon filet
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1-2 tbsp ginger root, chopped
  • 3-4 tbsp tamari sauce
  • aluminum foil
  1. Pre- heat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Line baking dish with aluminum foil
  3. Place salmon filet on foil
  4. Place garlic, ginger root and tamari sauce over salmon (these ingredients are all to taste, reason for the wide range in amounts)
  5. Wrap the salmon in foil, close foil completely
  6. Bake until salmon gets flaky and light pink
Enjoy!

  1. I came up to your blog real' randomly, saw your pic and thought ''I've seen her before...''. After days of thinking and researching, I finally figured out how. I had met you once, through Marie (Ho) back when you were all at Vanier. I can't remember if it was track or basketball team and you probably don't remember me but anywho... what a coincidence! lol I was looking for a pumpkin muffin recipe and came upon your blog! Very neat blog you have! :)
