Broiled Salmon with Tamari-Orange Marinade

Serves 4

Salmon is a stellar source of omega-3s for your heart, mood, and skin.

Ingredients:1-1/2 pounds wild Alaskan salmon fillet, cut into 4 equal portions
1/3 cup high-quality dry white wine (Chardonnay) or medium sweet wine (Riesling)
2 tablespoons low-sodium tamari
1/3 cup orange juice (fresh squeezed is best, about 1 large juicy orange)
3 tablespoons peeled, finely grated ginger
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
1 teaspoon raw honey
1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Directions:1. Rinse the salmon gently in water and pat to dry. In a small bowl, combine the wine, tamari, orange juice, ginger, scallions and honey and whisk to combine well. Place the salmon in a shallow glass baking pan, skin side down, and pour the marinade evenly on top. Cover the baking pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight, tipping the dish occasionally to recoat the salmon.

2. Remove the baking pan from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes while you preheat the broiler. Lift the salmon out of the baking pan and remove any ginger or scallions to prevent burning. Rub the oil on the skin side of the salmon and place it on the broiling pan, oiled side down.

3. Broil the salmon under high heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and the flesh inside is firm and light pink. The top should lightly brown and caramelize. (If the salmon browns within the first 5 minutes, move the broiling pan down 1 rack in your oven.)
