A sweet, tangy and salty mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar and honey does double-duty as marinade and sauce. Toasted sesame seeds provide a nutty and attractive accent. Make it a meal: Serve with brown rice and sautéed red peppers and zucchini slices.

Makes 4 servings

ACTIVE TIME: 20 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 40 minutes

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

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)

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.
3. 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.

TIP: Tips: How to skin a salmon fillet: Place skin-side down. Starting at the tail end, slip 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° angle, separating the fillet from the skin without cutting through either.

To toast sesame seeds, heat a small dry skillet over low heat. Add seeds and stir constantly, until golden and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.

Quick and easy, even for a man. I used my George Foreman grill instead of the oven. It was delicious as well as an attractive dish.

I made this last night and it was wonderful, I sliced extra green onions and soaked them in the sauce and then roasted the fish at 425 for 15 minutes. Served it with sauteed snap peas and fresh corn.

My family and I hadn't had salmon in a long time so I was looking for a new, and easy recipe when I found this. I made it and it was so good and easy! Everyone loved it too which was great.

This recipe is fantastic. I've tried many salmon recipes, most of which had lots of added oil and sugar. None were just right. This one is.

Watch the fish carefully if you are going to broil it for as long as the recipe recommends. I would bake it and then broil for a minute at the end to carmelize the top...otherwise the bits of ginger and scallions get fried. Other than the cooking instructions, I thought this salmon was very good. The ginger makes it.

This was fantastic, every bite I took was amazing! Try it with a green veg. I did a simple asparagus and it was lovely!
