This is fabulous salmon recipe that comes together so well from the marinade to the glaze. I love the taste of the ginger, garlic and cilantro (coriander) in the marinade. I made the same amount of marinade and glaze for 4 salmon fillets as mine were quite large. I served ours over egg noodles and fresh vegetables for a really lovely meal.

I made this with duck breast instead of chicken and it was very nice, it was a little too orange flavoured for us so I added some port to the sauce to counteract this. We much preferred it with the addition of the port but that was just our preference. I served ours over celeriac mash and some fresh asparagus for very enjoyable meal.
