Salmon is such a great weeknight dinner. It’s quick to thaw, fast to cook, versatile to flavor & oh so good to eat! The only downside is that lots of salmon recipes seem to have sugary sauces that go on top. In my search for no-sugar recipes, I came across this one. It’s really quite lovely!
Ingredients
- 1-2 T sesame or olive oil
- 1 lg wild salmon fillet (2-1/2 – 3 lbs)
- Salt & Pepper
- 2 T tahini
- 1 T soy sauce
- 4 T ginger, minced
- 1/2 t turmeric, minced
- 2 t garlic, minced
- Juice from 2 lemons
- Zest from 2 lemons
Mix tahini, soy sauce, ginger, turmeric, garlic, lemon juice & lemon zest together to form a thick paste. Spread over top of salmon & then lay salmon skin-side down onto pan.
Bake for approximately 40-45 min or until salmon is cooked through & flakes apart easily. Serve & enjoy!
