We like to think of these quick and easy salmon bites as sophisticated fish sticks. Serve them as a party appetizer or as part of a main course with couscous.

2 tablespoons lemon juice, plus 1 lemon cut into wedges
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
4 skinless salmon fillets (4 to 6 ounces each)

Steps:

  • Heat broiler with rack 6 inches from heat. Whisk together soy sauce, lemon juice, and sesame oil.
