sweet soy salmon

This is requested by my kids on a weekly basis and is an easy weeknight dinner with a pot of rice and some garlicky greens. But beware... I'm afraid it has ruined their interest in any salmon that's not sweet or smoked.

1 # salmon

4 Tbs. soy sauce
3-4 Tbs. honey
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar (unseasoned/unsweetened)
2 Tablespoons grated ginger (from a 2-3 inch piece of ginger. Use a microplane to grate.)


Combine all the ingredients except salmon in a baking dish that’s a little larger than the piece of salmon you are going to cook. Whisk to dissolve the honey and place the salmon, skin side up in the marinade. While the salmon marinates for 15 minutes or so, turn on the broiler or toaster oven. Flip the salmon over and place in the toaster oven or broiler. Cook until salmon just barely flakes apart… center of flake can still be darker and almost translucent as when raw. Let it sit for a minute to carry over cooking.
