Salmon with Soy Ginger Glaze

Ingredients

1. 1/4 cup soy sauce
2. 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
3. 1 teaspoon honey
4. 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
5. 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
6. Four 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets
7. Freshly ground pepper
8. Cilantro leaves or sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce and ginger and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the honey and mustard.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet. Season the salmon with pepper and add it to the skillet, skinned side up. Cook over high heat until golden and crusty, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the salmon and spoon the ginger-soy glaze on top. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the salmon for 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Using a slotted spatula, transfer the salmon fillets to plates, garnish with the cilantro or sesame seeds and serve.

If you don"t have an oven proof skillet - just finish cooking on the stove top.  Enjoy!
