Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3.5 (ZReboot 3.5) recipe. When my husband is in the mood for Asian food, this is his favorite dish. It’s a super easy dish, so it doesn’t take much to talk me into it.

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 4 pieces of salmon filet, skin on one side (approx 6 to 8 oz each)
• 2 tsp fresh, finely grated ginger
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp hot chili oil
• 2/3 cup Bragg’s Aminos (soy sauce)
• 3 Tbl brown sugar (or Swerve Brown)

Optional:

• green onions for garnish

Instructions:

Put all ingredients except the salmon in a Pyrex or other ovenproof pan. Stir to mix. Then place the salmon flesh side down on the mixture. Let marinate in your refrigerator for 30 minutes while you relax. Don’t marinate too long or the fish starts to fall apart.

When ready to make dinner, you are going to grill your salmon. You can also do this in a sauté pan if you don’t have a grill pan or don’t want to use it. DO NOT THROW AWAY THE MARINADE. Spray the pan with olive oil spray. Place the salmon flesh side down to start and grill or sauté on medium-high for 3 minutes. Turn salmon over. Grill on skin side for up to 4 minutes more, or to your liking. My husband likes his salmon cooked through. I use a gauge of 6 to 7 minutes per inch to cook it just past the pink-in-the-middle stage. You can judge your own cooking time based on your taste.

While the salmon is cooking, pour the marinade into a small sauce pan. Heat it on medium-high until it gently boils and starts to cook down. It will get close to a syrup consistency. Don’t let it boil over, but you do want a gentle boil to reduce it.

When the salmon is done, serve with a drizzle of the sauce. Garnish with green onions. YUM.

Enjoy!
