Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillet, cleaned, dried, cut in half
- 2 tablespoons Homemade Hoisin Sauce – Better Than Store-Bought, plus 2 teaspoons
- 1 tablespoon raw sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon asian chives, thinly sliced (or scallions)
- ½ medium fresh lime, cut in half (Serve with Shaved Carrot Slaw, see recipe)
Instructions
- Make: "Homemade Hoisin Sauce – Better Than Store-Bought."
- Preheat broiler. Rub a heavy pan suitable for the broiler generously with a neutral oil. (Or, add a sheet of foil in the bottom for easy clean up.)
- Top with the salmon, skin side down. Spread 1T. of hoisin sauce over each piece, smooth the top. (No salt necessary.)
- Broil, 4" from heat source until bubbly and has darkened and caramelized nicely. Add 1 teaspoon more of hoisin sauce on top of each fillet, smooth - - Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each fillet. Return to broiler and broil until the seeds have toasted, and are golden.
- Set the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the salmon, tent with foil, return to the oven to finish cooking the interior. Time will depend on the thickness of the salmon - and your desired doneness. 5 minutes is the average time.
- To serve: Place on individual plates, sprinkle with pine nuts and chives. Squeeze some lime juice all over. Add a serving of Shaved Carrot Slaw. Enjoy!
- Easy to double recipe! Or - scale up for a party. Hint: Double the Hoisin Sauce recipe so it is handy for many recipes.
