What's this, fish?

So much for updating on a regular basis...

The week before Thanksgiving Break, Ben came over for a home-cooked meal. We decided to compromise between meat and veggies and go for fish. Soooo, I present thee with:

Ginger and Soy-Sauce Glazed Salmon


Ingredients:

• 1/2ish C tamari
• 2ish tbsp maple syrup
• a splash of salt and pepper
• 1ish tsp fresh grated ginger
• sesame seeds to top

I apologize for the -ish measurements, but it was a bit ago and I don't recall. Also you can't really go wrong with such things...except to make it too syrupy. Don't do that.

How to:

1. Preheat oven to ~375 deg F.
   
2. Mix the tamari, maple syrup, salt and pepper. Coat both sides of the fish (I bought two fillets in total 1.5lb) with this glaze.
3. Spread grated ginger on top of each fillet, spoon excess glaze over the ginger. Let sit if you so desire. I put mine in a shallow dish and let them sit until Ben arrived.
4. Top with sesame seeds (merely for looks).
   
5. Bake salmon (watch carefully) until cooked to your desire ~5-12 min.
   

We served ours with a tomato, arugula and goat cheese salad and some of the previously described Mediterranean bruschetta. Ben insisted on taking a not-so-attractive picture of the place setting:


And there you are. A lovely Friday (?) meal at 80 Bristol.
