Brolied Salmon (originally posted 7.05.02)
Depending on how big your fillet of salmon is (half a pound per person is plenty), pour into a shallow dish tamari (japanese soy sauce) and roasted sesame oil (I like Kadoya) and chopped scallions, enough to just cover the bottom of the dish. Place the fish flesh down inthe marinade for 15 minutes or so. Set the oven to broil. When oven is ready, put the fish skin side down into a metal pan (trays are not ideal as the extra marinade will slip out and make a mess in the oven) and pour the extra marinade over it. It will burn in the pan, but cleans up pretty easily after a bit of soaking. Broil till the fish flakes easily at the thickest part, and the top has a nice roasty look (5-10 minutes, but must be checked frequently). Serve with steamed asparagus and orzo.
This dish is actually super fast & takes little effort, but will impress anyone with an intact tongue.
