| Recipe Ingredients | |
| 1 scallion , minced | |
| 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce | |
| 1 tablespoon rice vinegar | |
| 1 tablespoon honey | |
| 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger | |
| 1 pound center-cut salmon fillet , skinned (see Tip) and cut into 4 portions | |
| 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (see Tip) | |
Recipe 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.
Tips: How to skin a salmon fillet: Place skin-side down. Starting at the tail end, slip a long knife between the fish flesh and the skin, holding down firmly with your other hand. Gently push the blade along at a 30° angle, separating the fillet from the skin without cutting through either. To toast sesame seeds, heat a small dry skillet over low heat. Add seeds and stir constantly, until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.
