Quick Broiled Salmon With Ginger Mint Salsa

Buster's friend's Note:

Another great fish & mint combo - this one is from www.whfoods.org who note - "For such a little investment of time you receive enormous nutritional benefits from this flavorful combination tangy salsa and salmon. For starters this recipe provides an excellent source of tryptophan, selenium, niacin and protein as well as 193% of the daily value for those hard-to-find omega-3 fatty acids. Enjoy!" I think this will be great with salmon, tuna, mackeral, blue fish - plan to use with any of our "catch-of-the-day" successes!

• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

Fish

• 1⁄3; lb salmon fillet , cut in half
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• sea salt , to taste
• pepper , to taste

Salsa

• 1 tomato , fully ripe & diced
• ½ cup green onion , minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger , minced
• 2 teaspoons fresh mint , minced
• 1 teaspoon lime juice

Directions:

1. Salmon:.
2. To Quick-Broil preheat broiler on high and place an all stainless steel skillet (be sure the handle is also stainless steel) or cast iron pan under the heat for about 10 minutes to get it very hot. The pan should be 5 to 7 inches from the heat source.
3. Rub salmon with 2 tsp fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper. (You can Quick Broil with the skin on; it just takes a minute or two longer. The skin will peel right off after cooking.).
4. Using a hot pad, pull pan away from heat and place salmon on hot pan, skin side down. Return to broiler. Keep in mind that it is cooking rapidly on both sides so it will be done very quickly, usually in 7 minutes depending on thickness. Test with a fork for doneness. It will flake easily when it is cooked. Salmon is best when it is still pink inside.
5. Salsa:.
6. Combine all salsa ingredients.
7. Spoon over salmon.
8. Garnish with mint and a sprinkle of extra virgin olive oil.

The salmon turned out perfectly cooked this way! I'm only giving an average rating for now, though I want to try it again in the summer with fresh in-season tomatoes. I wasn't wowed by the salsa, but it was still pretty good.
