TAMARI SALMON ON A BED OF SCALLIONS image

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 6 to 8-ounce salmon slices, with skin on the bottom
Marinade:
1/2 cup sesame oil
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup tamari
4 cloves garlic, chopped
4 to 6 tablespoons sesame seeds
4 bunches scallions
Dash of salt
1/4 tsp. crushed black pepper
Lemon for garnish

Steps:

1. First, prepare the marinade. Chop white parts of scallions and reserve green leaves of the scallions. Add the chopped white scallion pieces to the remaining ingredients. 2. Place the slices of salmon in a shallow glass dish and pour the marinade over. 3. Let the salmon marinate for at least 25 minutes. (You can marinate the salmon up to an hour and a half, actually.) 4. Preheat the oven to 375. 5. Create a bed of scallion leaves (the green parts of the scallion) in a 13' by 9' by 2' baking dish. 6. Place the four slices of salmon, skin side down, atop the scallion leaves. Pour *all* of the marinade atop the salmon. (You are almost poaching the fish.) 7. Place the salmon in the oven uncovered and start checking after 12 minutes. When the fish flakes easily it is done. (Cooking time can really vary depending on the fish's cut.) To serve: Remove the fish with a spatula and be sure to place a few scallion greens alongside the salmon. Garnish with lemon slices.
