Salmon with soy glaze

Thankfully, tonight's dinner turned out much better than Monday's. Nothing exploded! Nothing caught on fire! No ingredients were missed! Nothing stuck to a pan! Um...yea...

Minus all the gunk that husband is now cleaning out of the rice pot and off the baking sheet, everything turned out delicious. Once my hard-as-rock brown sugar was chipped away into the soy sauce for the fish glaze, everything came together. I've never actually broiled anything before, and I still don't have a good concept of what broiling actually does, but there's a setting for it on the oven, so I broiled the salmon, and apparently broiled the crap out of the onions that were on the baking sheet with it. The glaze was tasty (of course, there's a quarter cup of sugar in it) and it went well over the fish and broccoli and rice without overpowering either the fish or broccoli. It was a pretty simple dinner, still with good flavour, and got healthy fish into our diet for the day. The onions were almost completely black, so I could have done without those, or just kept them raw. I also probably should have loaded up on more broccoli (I think I didn't put in as much as the recipe called for), but I liked that I could just put it in with the rice for a few minutes and it cooked so quickly. Overall, we're happy and full.

See what I mean about the onions? We shared the fillet, and the pear was a tasty side!

Little kitty got some yummy salmon! Earlier this week, she discovered that she loves bacon, too.

  1. Cameron and I have been eating a salmon recipe with a honey, miso and soy sauce. Do you think it's the same one? Cameron says he broils it too. It's so delicious! I think we had it with rice and green beans with garlic, sesame seeds and sesame oil.
