SESAME GINGER BAKED SALMON IN FOIL

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375ºF. Tear three pieces of foil that are slightly larger than the baking sheet, large enough to wrap the salmon in. Place one piece of foil on the baking sheet, followed by the second one going the other way (like a cross) and the last one going the same direction as the first. This will ensure none of the sauce leaks out.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil and add the ginger and garlic and allow to sizzle for just 30 seconds, add the rice vinegar and soy sauce and allow the them to reduce for 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the honey and remove from heat. Add the sesame oil and red pepper flakes.
• Place the salmon filet in the prepared foil, using a brush or spoon, brush the salmon with the sesame ginger sauce. Any remaining sauce can be poured around the salmon. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds. Wrap the foil so all sides are properly closed so the sauce does not leak.
• Bake salmon for 12-14 minutes or until firm (see note). Open the foil, spoon the sauce surrounding the salmon onto the fish, place under the broiler on for the 1-3 minutes, keeping an eye on the salmon so it does not burn. Remove from the oven, if your sauce is a little liquidy, allow the fish to rest for just 5 minutes. This will allow the sauce to thicken a bit. Serve with sliced scallions garnished on top.

FOIL-PACKET-STEAMED GINGER SESAME VEGETABLES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Trim any broccoli florets that are larger than 2 1/2-inches in diameter so all the pieces are all 2 to 2 1/2 inches in size (so they cook at the same rate). Toss the broccoli, edamame and carrots with 2 tablespoons of the Lemon Ginger Oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl.
• 2. Spread an 18-inch-long piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a cutting board or work surface and spread the vegetables in the middle. Pour 2 tablespoons water over the vegetables and then bring two of the sides of foil up and together and fold over twice to seal. Bring the other two sides up and in, crimping to seal.
• 3. Put the foil packet on a rimmed baking sheet and bake 25 minutes. Carefully open the foil packet, as it will be very steamy, and toss the vegetables with any of the accumulated juices and oil in the bottom of the foil packet. The vegetables should be crisp tender with a few pieces a little more cooked, but if any vegetables seem raw, reseal the package and bake an additional 5 minutes.
• 4. Spoon the steamed vegetables and juices into a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and sliced scallion. Drizzle with an extra tablespoon of the lemon ginger oil if desired.
• Combine both of the oils, the lemon zest, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes, if using, in a medium pot. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat until small bubbles form around the edges and the oil becomes fragrant, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, cool completely and then strain, pressing on the solids to release all the flavored oil. You will not need all the oil for this recipe. Store the extra oil in a small jar or resealable plastic container in the refrigerator and use within one week. Before using, let stand at room temperature for at least 5 minutes.
