Ingredients
- 4 oz skinless salmon filets
- Handful fresh green beans
- Olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Mixed greens for salad of your choice
Benny’s Asian marinade:
- 2 cup light soy sauce
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup miram
- ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
- One tablespoon dark sesame oil
- 5 cloves of garlic finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds Mix all ingredients together and adjust the flavors to what you like keep in a bottle in the fridge for 2 weeks.
Directions
Start by coating your salmon filets with the marinade and let sit at room temp for 15 min you can do this in the same pan that you will roast them turning every 5 min to make sure its coating all side.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and add a little canola oil to the pan and now roast the salmon with all the marinade until you start to see the fats coming out of the fish and the marinade starting to get rich and caramelized between 15-20 min depends on the oven and cut of the fish.
Make sure to baste it every few min this will keep the fish moist and develop the marinade on the salmon in layers.
While the salmon is finishing add some butter to a sauté pan and add your beans and a touch of kosher salt. Sauté until the beans are a little soft, take off the heat and keep warm.
Now to bring it all together add a touch of olive oil to your salad greens and about 1 teaspoon of the salmon marinade from the bottle and mix this should be a very light coating almost nonexistent but it will work. Plate the salmon drizzle any of the marinade from the pan on top, add some toasted sesame seeds and finish with the beans on the side.
This is an amazingly healthy light dish that is one of my go to meals when I am working out or even losing weight for a tour as this is virtually no carbs and very little fats.
Healthy eating!
