Umami Salmon with Green Mojo

Ingredients:

  • 12-16 oz Salmon Fillet

  • 1/4 cup of Olive Oil

  • 1/4 cup of Soy Sauce

  • 3-4 Tablespoons of Lime Juice (2-3 Limes)

  • 1 sprig of fresh Rosemary chopped small

  • 2 teaspoons of Green Mojo

  • 2 tablespoons of fresh grated ginger root

  • 2 chayote squash (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon of honey or agave

Preparation:

  • Preheat oven at 400F

  • Take a measuring cup and mix all ingredients together like a marinade. Place salmon in an oven safe container and pour marinade over salmon and leave it for about 30 min. Not overnight because limes will cook the salmon.

  • Place salmon in a sheet pan lined with parchment and bake for 12 min. Broil for 3-4 min so it is nicely caramelized.

    • Salmon should be opaque all the way thru, but soft and buttery, don't over cook it otherwise it will be dry.

    • Wash squash well and cut in half and remove pith, boiled in salted water for about 20 until tender.

    • Serve with Chayote Squash drizzle with olive oil. Enjoy with a Pinot Noir which is a great match to asian flavor profiles like this dish.
