Asian Salmon with Roasted Veggies

On Monday, Gabe really liked what I made.  I was impressed too because I really didn't have a clue what I was going to make until something like 7pm that evening.  All I knew is that I had to use the asparagus in the fridge :)

So I started chopping asparagus and my ideas grew from there.  I decided I was going to do a combo of asparagus, zucchini spears, baby bella mushrooms, corn off the cob, and leeks.  This combo was born out of ones that take similar roasting times and things I had ready/available in the fridge.

I toss these into a bowl with olive oil, salt & pepper and they waited on the next idea I had.

asian salmon in foil.

I loosely based it on the recipe from here:

Ingredients:
1/4 c honey
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 T soy sauce
2 T rice vinegar
1-2 T fresh ginger, minced
1-2 T shallot, chopped finely
dash of cayenne pepper
salt & pepper to taste
2 lbs of salmon
sprinkle of sesame seeds


Instructions:
1. preheat the oven to 375.
2. into a small bowl, place honey, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, cayenne pepper, salt/pepper to taste.
3. place salmon onto a baking sheet and place a salmon portion onto a square of foil.  Spoon the honey mixture over the salmon.  Fold the foil up and around the salmon, sealing it well so that it is completely closed.
4. put the baking sheet with salmon packets in the oven until cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
5. let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
6. garnish with sesame seeds and serve with roasted vegetables.

Serves 4-6.


Yum!  It was pretty spicy for my liking, but Gabe LOVED it.  It was probably all the ginger I put in :)
