Asian Salmon in Foil (Recipe 47 of 150)

Fish. It's the one thing I need to get more of. So I've tried to have a fish dish at least once a week. I also know that I need to plan it early in the week because I know as the week progresses the more chances that I'll not make it. 

That photo isn't of spoiled salmon. It's of cod. For some dumb reason I pulled out cod instead of salmon this morning out of the freezer. Doesn't matter. It worked fine for this recipe.

I wouldn't use as much sesame oil the next time. It gets a little overwhelming. Other than that, this is a great recipe for fish. Or even chicken if you wanted. 

Asian Salmon in Foil

Recipe from Damndelicious.net

Serves 4

• 1/4 c honey
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 T reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 T seasoned rice vinegar
• 1 T sesame oil
• 1 T freshly grated ginger
• 1 tsp Sriracha, optional
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 pounds salmon
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 tsp sesame seeds

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, Sriracha and pepper, to taste.

Place salmon onto the prepared baking sheet and fold up all 4 sides of the foil. Spoon the honey mixture over the salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon, covering completely and sealing the packet closed.

Place into oven and bake until cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.* Open the packet and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until caramelized and slightly charred.

Serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
