Ww Honey-Glazed Salmon With Wasabi - 4 Points

Submitted by teresas

"This is out of the "Take-out-tonight" WW cookbook. It says you can use salmon steaks with this dish. Great served with a refreshing cucumber salad. It's easy to prepare, requires virtually no chopping and is ready in less than 20 minutes. Zaar would not accept Mirin (1st ingredient) so posted it in parentheses."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 3 tablespoons sweet cooking rice wine (mirin)
• 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey

directions

1. To make the sauce, bring the mirin, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, ginger, and wasabi to boil in a small saucepan.
2. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until the flavors are blended and the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat; cover and keep warm.
4. Meanwhile, sprinkle the salmon with the salt and the pepper.
5. Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and set over high heat.
6. Add the salmon and cook, turning once, until the fish is browned on the outside and opaque in the center, about 4 minutes on each side.
7. Spoon the sauce over the salmon.
8. Sprinkle with the scallions.
9. Serve at once.

This was my first time to use Wasabi paste, and loved it in this easy sauce! I cooked the salmon in a Pyrex dish in a 425F oven for 8 minutes, and the sauce thickened nicely in the saucepan, during that time ~ (I forgot to garnish!) ~ Tagged for Zaar Stars.

The sauce for this fish is a dream! I had to make minor changes to adapt it to the ingredients I had on hand, but the procedure and the main flavors were unchanged. The cooking method is perfect because in this way the fish stays moist! Thanks a lot for this great recipe!

Sensational sauce! I let it simmer till it was quite syrupy and then poured it over the pan-roasted salmon. I actually had all the ingredients on hand, so I made it exactly as written. Easy-peasy. Thanks Teresa!

Simple,quick,tastyand looks good. I marinated the salmon before hand also so when in the pan the salmon caramelised creating a more appealing looking dish. Careful the sugars in the so dont burn tho!

This is a wonderful "new" way to cook salmon! So easy and very different than any other salmon recipe I have seen or tried. I followed Kertuffle-Upon-Wincle's suggestion to bake the salmon at 425 for 8 minutes and it was perfect. I didn't have any trouble with the sauce thickening even before I baked it. Will do this next time as well! Thanks for this great recipe!
