SESAME GINGER ALASKA SALMON

Serves: 4  
Prep Time: 15

Ingredients:
4 Alaska Salmon steaks or fillets (4 to 6 oz. each), fresh, thawed or frozen
5 green onions, cut into 2" shreds, reserving 1/4 cup shreds
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro or 1-1/2 Tablespoons dried cilantro
1 lemon, cut into 8 thin slices
2 Tablespoons dark sesame oil
2 Tablespoons minced and packed ginger
1/3 cup sake or dry sherry
1/4 cup light soy sauce

Directions:
Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Salmon under cold water; pat dry with paper towel.

Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray.

Layer onions and cilantro in 4 equal stacks (the size of the salmon portions) on baking sheet. Top each serving with 2 lemon slices. Stir together sesame oil and ginger; spoon about 1 teaspoon of mixture over each pair of lemon slices. Top with salmon portions. Add sake and soy sauce to remaining oil mixture; blend. Spoon over salmon portions. (Note: For best results with frozen fish, cook salmon 4 minutes before seasoning with sake/soy mixture.)

Broil 4-5 inches from heating element until salmon is nicely browned, about 8 minutes for frozen portions OR 6 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Turn off broiler; set oven to 375_F. Cook an additional 7 to 8 minutes for frozen salmon OR 2 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout. Serve garnished with reserved green onions.
