Equipment

Ingredients
 

Salmon

  • 1 lbs fresh salmon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil plus more for cooking
  • 1-2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • sesame seeds garnish (optional)

Salad

  • 6-9 cups Lettuce of choice
  • 1 1/2 cups canned mandarin oranges drain
  • ~1 cups shredded carrots
  • 2-3 tbsp green onions

Ginger Soy Dressing

Instructions
 

Salmon

  • Make sure salmon is completely defrost if it is frozen. Then cut into three pieces for three servings. Sprinkle the flesh side with salt.
  • Combine soy sauce, honey, sugar, olive oil, garlic and ginger powder, in a small bowl.
  • Heat skillet with olive oil under medium heat. Once oil it hot, pan fry salmon skin side up. Cook for a few minutes or until one side is cooked, then flip and cook the other side. Cover to cook and turn down heat if needed. Once salmon is cooked, turn it flesh side up. Salmon cooks pretty quickly so do not overcook! Tip - increase and decrease heat as necessary as the salmon cooks. Use a meat thermometer to determine doneness.
  • Pour sauce onto skillet. Sauce should thicken up almost immediately. Spoon sauce onto sauce and brush sauce all over the salmon - be generous and layer it with sauce! Remove from heat promptly once done.

Salad and Ginger Soy Dressing

  • Cut up and prep vegetables for salad and divide them into bowls. This recipe should make ~3 bowls of salad.
  • Combine Ginger Soy Dressing in a mason jar and shake it up. Or add them to a bowl and use a spoon to stir and mix well.
  • Add dressing to salad (see Note 1) and place salmon on top of lettuce. Optional: garnish salmon with sesame seeds.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Note 1: I was generous with the amount of dressing so there might be leftovers!
