Soy Citrus Salmon
The following recipe serves two, but it can be doubled or tripled for company.
1 large wild or responsibly-farmed salmon fillet (about a pound)
1/2 cup soy sesame marinade such as Soy Vay Veri Teriyaki (one of my pantry staples)
2 tbs. sweet chili sauce
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
Orange slices and cilantro to garnish
1/2 - 1 tbs. olive oil to coat baking dish
Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Set oven to high broil.
Season fish with salt and pepper. Combine soy marinade, chili sauce, orange juice. Place fish in oiled baking dish and cover with the sauce. Let marinate at least 5 minutes or up to an hour. Place orange slices on top. Broil for 6-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillet. Garnish with fresh cilantro for color.
I served this with roasted asparagus and organic red quinoa from Trader Joe's - prepared according to box directions and finished with salt and pepper, Earth Balance Buttery Spread, a little extra virgin olive oil, and some of the orange-soy drippings from the fish if you want.
This meal pairs nicely with a Pinot Noir - I served BearBoat Russian River. Or, if you prefer white, Ironstone Vineyards Obsession Symphony is a good, inexpensive choice.

Your Citrus Salmon looks fantastic - thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you think we could replace the soy sesame marinade with Bragg's. We try to use this instead of Soy Sauce in most of our meals because of the health benefits such as containing 16 amino acids. It also does not contain any chemicals, artificial coloring and preservatives.
I think the soy sauce might be a little thicker than braggs although I think it might work although would love to hear your feedback.
Thanks and look forward to hearing from you.

I think Bragg's would work fine - I'd suggest mixing it with a touch of sesame oil, some grated ginger, and even some sesame seeds to really mimic the Soy Vay Veri Teriyaki. You could also combine equal parts of Veri Teriyaki (which is also all-natural) with Braggs to get the best of both worlds.
