• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup light soy sauce, divided
• 1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon mustard powder (or hot Asian mustard)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
• 4 (5 ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed and thinly sliced or 4 salmon steaks
• nonstick cooking spray
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 small carrots, cut into julienne strips
• 1 leek, trimmed, rinsed and cut into julienne strips (white part only)
• 1 1 cup reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth or 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

directions

1. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, lemon juice, mustard powder and the spice powder.
2. Place the salmon in a shallow dish, brushing both sides of the fish with the soy mixture. Cover the dish with plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. Preheat the broiler.
4. Spray a medium skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds. Sauté until the seeds are golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the sesame seeds to a plate.
5. Spray the skillet again.
6. Sauté the carrots and leek until they are crisp, but tender, about 5 minutes. Add the water or broth, remaining soy sauce and sesame oil. Simmer until most of the liquid evaporates, about 10-15 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, place the salmon on a broiler pan. Broil, 4 inches from the heat, until the fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
8. Spoon the leek mixture evenly onto 4 serving plates and arrange the salmon filets on top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
9. Serve immediately.
