Anyone got a healthy recipe for salmon fillets?

I usually do them with a spicy crust but I am really bored with this. Both my partner and I could do with a lower-fat recipe due to excess calorie consumption recently!





Many thanks for your suggestions!Anyone got a healthy recipe for salmon fillets?

This is my current favorite. You can use the salsa with any fish, but it's really great with the salmon. You can also easily substitute mango for the pineapple/

Honey Soy Salmon


Ingredients


1 scallion, minced


2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce


1 tablespoon rice vinegar


1 tablespoon honey


1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger


1 pound center-cut salmon fillet, skinned (see Tip) and cut into 4 portions


1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (see Tip)


Cooking Instructions


1. Whisk scallion, soy sauce, vinegar, honey and ginger in a medium bowl until the honey is dissolved. Place salmon in a sealable plastic bag, add 3 tablespoons of the sauce and refrigerate; let marinate for 15 minutes. Reserve the remaining sauce.





2. Preheat broiler. Line a small baking pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Transfer the salmon to the pan, skinned-side down. (Discard the marinade.) Broil the salmon 4 to 6 inches from the heat source until cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes. Drizzle with the reserved sauce and garnish with sesame seeds.





Tips: How to skin a salmon fillet: Place salmon fillet on a clean cutting board, skin-side down. Starting at the tail end, slip the blade of a long knife between the fish flesh and the skin, holding down firmly with your other hand. Gently push the blade along at a 30掳 angle, separating the fillet from the skin without cutting through either.





To toast seeds: Cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
