For a deeper ginger flavor, you can steep the fresh ginger in the ginger ale and water mixture for a longer period before bringing it to a boil. If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the amount of sugar to your liking. Serve this salmon with a side of quinoa or wild rice and steamed green vegetables for a complete and balanced meal. Leftover glaze can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before using. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze while simmering.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Raspberry-Ginger Glaze: In a saucepan, combine ginger ale and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer (approximately 5 minutes).
02
StepAdd lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, raspberries, and sliced ginger to the simmering liquid. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes to infuse the flavors and soften the raspberries.
03
StepStrain the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean saucepan, discarding the solids. This will create a smooth and luscious glaze.
04
StepStir in sugar into the strained sauce. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. The glaze should coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly while you prepare the salmon.
05
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) (approximately 5 minutes).
06
StepPrepare the Salmon: Coat salmon fillets with olive oil. Season generously with sea salt, black pepper, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Place salmon fillets in a broiler-proof baking dish.
07
StepBrush the salmon fillets generously with the raspberry-ginger glaze, ensuring they are well-coated.
08
StepBake in the preheated oven until the salmon is almost opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 10 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
09
StepTurn on the oven's broiler. Broil the fillets until the glaze is beautifully browned and caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
10
StepServe the glazed salmon immediately, drizzled with any extra sauce if desired. Garnish with fresh raspberries or a sprig of mint for an elegant presentation.
