Orange Ginger Salmon

Here is a recipe I got from an X-boyfriends mom (thats right, I first stole his heart, then I stole his moms recipe! I'm bad). It is a super easy way to do salmon and you can either do this on the grill or in the oven.

4 6oz. fillet pieces of salmon

1/4 cup orange marmalade
1 Tbsp minced ginger
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp roasted sesame seeds

Preheat oven to 350F. Pat fish dry with paper towel. Always season your fish with salt! About a 1/2 tsp will do for all 4 pieces.

In small bowl, combine the marmalade, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and sesame seeds; whisk with fork until well incorporated.

Place salmon on foil-lined baking sheet and lightly coat salmon with 1/2 of the sauce. Let bake for aprox. 10 minutes; add the rest of the marinade on top off the fish...do not over cook. Poke salmon with fork and if it bounces back, its done. Remember, most proteins keep cooking even after you remove them from a heat source so if its still a little pink in the middle before you take out of the oven, don't worry.

Feel free to garnish with some sesame seeds and/or cilantro.
Serving suggestions: Coconut jasmine rice and roasted veggies.

Good luck and happy cooking!
