Toasted Sesame Ginger Salmon

This salmon was unbelievably good!  My niece and nephew, Chelsie and Mike Oakford, served this when we were invited to their home tonight.  It was beautifully glazed with honey, sesame oil, soy sauce and ginger which complimented the rich flavor of the salmon.  This is a dish that I will definitely make again!

1 1/2 pounds raw salmon

MARINADE:

1/4 cup olive oil

2 T. toasted sesame oil

2 T. rice vinegar

2 T. brown sugar

2 T. soy sauce

2 garlic cloves, grated or chopped

1 T. freshly grated ginger

Mix above ingredients and marinate salmon for 30 minutes – 1 hour.

Line baking dish with foil. Place salmon, skin-side up and broil 10 – 12 minutes

GLAZE:

1/4 cup honey

1 tsp. toasted sesame oil

1 tsp. soy sauce

1/2 tsp. ginger, grated

1/2 tsp. toasted sesame seeds

Combine all glaze ingredients.  Glaze salmon as soon as you take it out of the oven.

GARNISH: 

4 green onions, finely chopped

1 – 2 T. toasted sesame seeds
