I picked up this fillet of Atlantic Salmon at Costco over the weekend. I am learning that eating better is not so bad, as I continue to read labels and information on all the foods I am eating, I am making better choices. Salmon is loaded with heart healthy Omega -3 fatty acids, and the American Heart Association recommends eating it at least twice a week. Salmon live along the coasts of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans but are born in fresh water. Recipe is below on how I prepared my tasty salmon. It's light in calories but not in flavor!
I cut the salmon in portion sizes for dinner, then wrapped and saved the remaining salmon in the freezer for another meal. I baked the salmon in foil with a soy, ginger and lemon sauce.
Took it out of the foil and into a frying pan, to get a crust on it, with some of the sauce.
Caramelizing, then served with some of the remaining sauce.
A delicious healthy portion of salmon with roasted fresh green beans.
Salmon in Ginger, Soy and Lemon Sauce
Ingredients
4 salmon fillets, about 4 ounces each
1/2 cup of Kikkoman Low Salt Soy Sauce
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 tsp ground ginger
cooking spray
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place a piece of foil on a baking sheet large enough to wrap the salmon fillets in. Lay the salmon on the foil. In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, lemon juice and ginger until combined. Pour the sauce over the salmon and wrap tightly, so no sauce escapes. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, open foil and carefully place the fillets into a frying pan sprayed with cooking spray. On medium high heat, let the fillets start to caramelize on both sides, then add a little of the sauce. Turn them over once, then transfer to a serving platter. Pour a little of the remaining sauce over the top and serve. Makes 4 servings.
