Asian Style Salmon with Sauteed Mushrooms & Spinach


This is one of my favorite meals.  It's really simple, light and takes very little time to make.

Ingredients :

2 salmon filets

1/4 cup  Sweet Soy sauce - this is a thicker soy sauce and touch of sweetness
1/4 cup pineapple juice ( you can use orange juice or just omit it)
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp minced ginger - I use the ginger in the tube you find in produce department
1 TB brown sugar
1 TB Sesame oil

Black and white sesame seeds to sprinkle on salmon when they goo in the oven.

How To :

In a baking dish, add all above ingredients, place salmon in dish, sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake 375 for approx. 13-15 minutes. Ovens vary, keep an eye on it.  That's it !

Prepare couscous. Only takes a few minutes. Simple !

While the salmon is cooking, slice mushrooms.  Add butter and oil to pan until heated, add mushrooms, sauté until golden.  At this point, I add a little more butter, turn off the stove and add the spinach and toss.  If you keep the heat on, the spinach becomes soggy, everything becomes too wet and unappealing.  So just a light toss in the butter. Serve

1 package of white buttons mushrooms
1 small package of fresh spinach leaves

2-3 TB butter
2-3 TB olive oil

Couscous or rice  - or the salmon is just fine with the spinach and mushrooms.

* Note.  Throughout the salmon cooking, I spoon some of the soy mixture of the salmon.
