How to Make Asian Citrus Marinated Salmon Low Fat
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons orange juice, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and ½ teaspoon ginger powder.
- Add salmon fillets to the marinade, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor).
- Preheat your broiler to high heat.
- Remove salmon from the marinade and gently pat dry with paper towels.
- Brush both sides of the fillets with 1 teaspoon sesame oil and place on a broiler pan.
- Broil 4 inches from the heat source for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon broils, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and toast, stirring constantly, until golden brown (about 1-2 minutes). Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove the salmon skin (optional), transfer to serving plates, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
