Salmon Of the Day 11.11.10

HONEY SOY GLAZED SALMON
I made this over the weekend and it was a crowd pleaser! Even the anti'salmon eaters loved it. I also made a salad and used the leftovers to spruce it up the following day!
Ingredients
1 scallion, minced
2 tablespoon(s) reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon(s) rice vinegar
1 tablespoon(s) honey
1 teaspoon(s) minced fresh ginger
1 pound(s) center-cut salmon fillet, skinned and cut into 4 portions
1 teaspoon(s) toasted sesame seeds
Directions



Whisk scallion, soy sauce, vinegar, honey and ginger in a medium bowl until the honey is dissolved. Place salmon in a sealable plastic bag, add 3 tablespoons of the sauce and refrigerate; let marinate for 15 minutes. Reserve the remaining sauce.


Preheat broiler. Line a small baking pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Transfer the salmon to the pan, skinned-side down. (Discard the marinade.) Broil the salmon 4 to 6 inches from the heat source until cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes. Drizzle with the reserved sauce and garnish with sesame seeds.
