brown sugar baby

It's been quite some time since my last post - and I really need some rest and relaxation tonight, so I thought it would be a good time to invite this blog back into my life.

Last night my family had birthday dinner for me, well really, I had birthday dinner for my family - because I'll take any excuse to cook. I made an awesome brown sugar salmon - a recipe that I got from my friend Meg's mom, Nancy.

Brown Sugar, Soy and Ginger Salmon

1.5 lbs fresh, boneless and skinless salmon
2 T soy sauce
1 T rice wine vinegar
2 tsp fresh minced ginger
2 T brown sugar
1 tsp sesame oil

Cut salmon into even slices
Combine all other ingredients into a bowl and whisk together
Marinate salmon in fridge for at least 30 minutes
Heat broiler
Place on a baking pan and broil fish for 3-7 minutes - depending on the thickness of the fish and how close to the heat each piece is - may have to move the pieces around a bit to get each piece evenly cooked - the salmon should caramelize on top and should flake easily with a fork when done.

I got my salmon from Wholey's in the Strip and this recipe was just delicious. Paired it with roasted brussels sprouts and rice. Yum.

xo. cheers. namaste,
