Salmon with Honey-Soy Glaze

{This week’s menu is posted.}

So, I know last week I had said I was going to do a cloth diaper post every Sunday, but yesterday I had a baby who wanted to snuggle.  My computer sat closed until late in the day, and by then I just opened it to check my email.  It was a great day of snuggling & watching movies on Hulu.  So, that will resume next week.

This is the last of the Everyday Food recipes from last week.  I can’t believe what a kick I went on there! I made some pretty significant changes to this recipe, but I can’t take credit for the inspiration.

Salmon with Honey-Soy Glaze {inspired by Everyday Food}
Ingredients:

• 3 salmon fillets {remove skin}
• 1/4 cup honey
• 5 tbs soy sauce
• 2 tsp olive oil

Directions:

1. To make the glaze mix the honey and soy sauce in a small bowl.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Coat the top of the salmon with the glaze and place in the heated skillet.  Set aside the extra glaze.
4. Cook each side for 3 minutes.  Remove from heat & transfer to a plate.
5. Pour the remaining glaze into the same skillet and cook on high for about 2 minutes.  Serve as a dip or as additional glaze.
6. Serve with your favorite vegetables and garlic butter noodles!

Grade: B-

Comments: Nathan liked this a lot more than I did.  Here’s the thing: I HATE soy sauce.  HATE.  I thought that if I balanced this out with more honey than soy, it wouldn’t be so obvious.  I was wrong.  Salty foods are by far my least favorite thing.  I don’t put salt on anything, so I thought this was really salty.  If I make it again, I would use even less soy.  So, the lesson here is that even with the honey, the soy flavor is strong.  Nathan did really like it, so if you like soy sauce then you’ll definitely love it!
