Healthy Recipe of the Week – Asian Glazed Salmon

23 February 2010 6 Comments

I used to live in Seattle where fresh wild salmon was pretty easy to find. I have been craving it lately, so I found this yummy recipe that I tried last night. Salmon is a notoriously fatty fish, of course, but most of the fat is of the heart-healthy kind.

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp chopped scallions
1 tbsp lime juice
4 5-ounce salmon fillets

Preparation:

Combine maple syrup, ginger, soy sauce, lime juice and scallions in a large resealable plastic bag. Add salmon fillets. Seal, pressing out excess air, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Preheat broiler or grill. Coat broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray. If grilling, spray grill before preheating.

Remove salmon from plastic bag, reserving marinade, and place on broiler rack or grill. Cook for 10 minutes until fish flakes easily. Brush with marinade once or twice during cooking.

Serves 4.

Thanks for visiting my blog:) I have a similar salmon recipe that my teen boys love! Which is a big deal since it is the only fish they will eat. My 17 year old will even go for the leftovers:)

I LOVE Salmon, and recently I have discovered that if you keep up on it, healthy eating isn’t as expensive as I thought. That used to be what kept me from doing it, I always got so angry that these yummy recipes were SO expensive, really they aren’t that bad!
