Baked Salmon With Southeast Asian Marinade
Ingredients
- Pineapple juice (no sugar added) - 1/2 cup
- Garlic cloves, minced - 2
- Low-sodium soy sauce - 1 tsp
- Ground ginger - 1/4 tsp
- Salmon fillets, each 4 ounces - 4 oz
- Sesame oil - 1 tsp
- Freshly ground black pepper - To Taste
- Diced fresh fruit, such as pineapple, mango and papaya - 1 cup
Instructions
- In a small bowl, add the pineapple juice, garlic, soy sauce and ginger. Stir to mix evenly. Arrange the salmon fillets in a small baking dish. Pour the pineapple juice mixture over the top. Put in the refrigerator and marinate for 1 hour. Turn the salmon periodically as needed.
- Heat the oven to 375 F. Lightly coat 2 squares of aluminum foil with cooking spray. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the aluminum foil. Drizzle each with 1/8 teaspoon sesame oil. Sprinkle with pepper and top each with 1/2 cup diced fruit. Wrap the foil around the salmon, folding the edges to seal. Bake until the fish is opaque throughout when tested with the tip of a knife, about 10 minutes on each side. Transfer the salmon to warmed individual plates and serve immediately.
