Ginger Broiled Salmon from Saving Dinner.com

4 salmon fillets
1 cup pineapple juice
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons gingerroot, peeled, and grated
1/8 teaspoon pepper
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: In a large zip-lock plastic bag, combine pineapple juice and remaining ingredients; carefully add the fish. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes while you prepare the rest of the meal. Pre-heat oven broiler. Drain the fish, reserving the marinade. Place fish on a lightly greased broiler pan, and broil about 5 inches or more from heat source for about 8 to 13 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove from pan and keep warm. Meanwhile, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in a saucepan, and cook for about 3 minutes, until reduced. Pour over fish and serve.

I actually had Isaac cook this in a frying pan on the stove top, and after he had seared both sides of the salmon he poured the marinade in and reduced it while cooking the Salmon. It got 4 stars from everyone... in fact Isaac licked the frying pan he liked it so much! :)

we had rice and steamed broccoli with it, a great meal!

Pesto Salmon Salad

This recipe is from the Lodge my husband stayed at on his Alaskan Fishing Trip. Sorry about the Picture this was taken of the left overs Isaac is taking for lunch tomorrow and so I couldn't mix it all together like it should be. I chopped up my piece of salmon and mixed it all together.

So you cook the Salmon using Sea Salt and a 5 pepper Blend, must be the 5 pepper blend as it has sweet pepper and other peppers. We just cooked it in the frying pan.

The Topping/ Dressing is tomatoes chopped and Mozzarella cheese or another soft cheese this time we used Panela, chopped. Then you can use either a packet mix of Pesto or we used the classico traditional basil pesto. I liked the jar type better than the dry packet kind.

Then just shred the lettuce, whatever kind you prefer (we used romaine) and pile on the fish and dressing.

I am not a fan of Salmon and I LOVED this! I wanted seconds. Kiri ate without any whining. And of course Isaac loved it.

It prepares really fast and easy, but tastes like a lot of work!
