At my 22nd birthday "party" my roommate introduced me to a guy named Sean (not actually his name, but go with it). He was cute, nice and smelled pretty good so I hung out with him a few more times after that. Then, like every 22 year old that spends five nights a week at the bar flirting with every half way decent looking guy I started ignoring poor Sean. I would have liked to continue a friendship with him but I'm not so good at the friend zone game...I'm sure you figured that out from my last post. It wasn't too long before I ran into him at a bar in Bigfork during Whitewater Fest. He was drunk, I was buzzed and we chatted. He said "I've been chasing after you and I feel like I'm sitting in a boat on a lake. I'm in that boat and I'm fishin' and fishin', but there aren't any fish in the lake." After sharing a good laugh over his description of "chasing" me I smiled and suggested he find a new lake to fish in. He must have listened because last I heard he had gotten married. I figured while we were talking about fish, metaphorical or not, that I would give you a tasty fish recipe.
You will need:
1 single portion salmon filet
1 tsp. ground ginger
2 minced garlic cloves
2 T. soy sauce (I used GF/reduced sodium)
2 T. orange juice
1 T. honey
Combine ingredients in shallow bowl. If your filet still has the skin on it then marinate your fish with skin face up and the meat in the marinade. I made rice with my fish so I marinated the fish while I started the brown rice, it got to marinate for about 1/2 hour. Preheat oven to broil. Place fish, skin down on tin foil covered pan, pour excess marinade on top. Broil your fish until done, this can be tested with a fork. It's about 10 minutes cook time per inch of fish thickness. I recommend checking after about 5 mins, mine didn't take long to cook and you don't want it overdone, dried out fish is not awesome. I served mine with brown rice and garlic sauteed broccoli and was presently surprised by how good it all was. Enjoy!
