This is a colorful, fast, and nutrient rich entree, terrific on an outdoor grill but just as easy in a skillet.

Ingredients

For the Marinade

  • ⅓ cup soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup rapadura (unrefined cane) sugar
  • ⅓ cup water
  • ¼ cup olive or coconut oil

For the Entree

  • 6 filets Pink Salmon (approx 4 oz each)
  • 16 spears asparagus (approx 4 each)
  • 1 pat butter (or a bit of additional oil)
  • 2 tablespoons shallots - minced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds - lightly toasted
  • 1 lemon
  • Sea Salt
  • 16 small cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  • Season salmon fillets with lemon juice, pepper and salt
  • Make the marinade. In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, rapadura sugar, water, and preferred oil until dissolved. Place fish in a large resealable plastic bag with the marinade, seal, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat grill grate or skillet for medium heat. Lightly oil or butter if needed, or use cooking spray.
  • Remove salmon from marinade, discard marinade. Place salmon on the preheated surface, cook salmon skin side down firstly, for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • Place oil and asparagus in a glass baking dish and toss so that the asparagus is completely coated with oil. Bake at 200 c for about 8 minutes, shaking the dish every 2 minutes or so.
  • Sprinkle on the shallots and sesame seeds and bake, with one or two shakes for 1 minute more. Transfer to heated serving bowl and squeeze on lemon juice. Season to taste.
  • Toss baby tomatoes on a grill or skillet after coating with oil, cook to preferred tenderness.
  • Plate the asparagus, tomatoes, and one fillet per person.
