Hurricane Irene was approaching, and I wasn’t about to head out to the grocery store. Luckily I found a large piece of salmon in the freezer to cook with.
This is a simple, quick recipe for when you are short on time. It’s delicious and has a lot of flavor and can be served with any vegetable or starch you please. In my case I had it with sauteed kale. Salmon is a great source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
Almond-encrusted ginger/honey/soy salmon
Ingredients:
- 1 large salmon fillet or multiple small ones. This was big enough for 2
- 1 tsp honey
- 5 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp minced fresh ginger
- small handful of almond slivers, smashed into tiny pieces
Directions:
Defrost the salmon if frozen.
Combine honey, soy, and minced ginger in a small bowl.
Line a pan with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with oil.
Place salmon on the foil and brush generously with the honey/soy/ginger mixture, making sure that the ginger is distributed across the fish.Smash your almond pieces (in a plastic baggie, using a beer bottle, or whatever works for you) and sprinkle them across the top of the fish.
Broil salmon for 8-10 minutes, checking to make sure the almonds don’t burn.
Serve with sauteed kale or vegetable of choice.
