AmyHuangSuper Easy Salmon Steak Marinade
April 17th 2012 09:05
OK - it is harder than Taylor Lautner's abs but I am trying to eat healthy and smart at the moment and cutting out as many carbs as possible, making my lunch every day for work and exchanging my daily snacks from delicious chocolate (I will miss you Cadbury Creme eggs and Oportos) to two pieces of fruit. Soft drinks are gone and I am loathing drinking so much water 
But to add to this I am trying to maintain motivation and walking about 40kms per week - who would have thought - but the big Four Zero approaches in June and I have to look damn slim and hotter than Zac Efron for the event so I can possibly meet someone and shed my image of pending spinsterdom.
SO - I am only eating veggies or salad every night with a meat - lean steak, chicken and now salmon steaks! I should have grilled it but I do like to flip it easier in a pan and I can monitor it much better.
Pick your own veggies or salad or chips - whatevs - I had a small amount of spiral pasta left over and mixed this with some steamed beans, corn and broccoli - and to be honest it was amazing! Salmon is now a staple in the house and my health and body will be grateful!
WHAT YOU NEED:
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
* 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
* 1/4 teaspoon dried minced garlic
* 2 salmon fillets
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
1) In a small bowl, combine the oil, soy sauce, mustard and garlic.
2) Pour half of marinade into a large resealable plastic bag.
3) Add the salmon; seal bag and turn to coat.
4) Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Refrigerate remaining marinade.
5) Drain fish and discard marinade.
6) Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the pan or grill.
7) Fry or grill salmon, covered, over high heat for 5-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Fry it skins side DOWN first 5mins. This is because you want the juices to run down first.
8) Drizzle with reserved marinade.
9) I served with some spiral pasta, steamed corn and broccoli.
