SALMON TERIYAKI WITH ORANGE SALAD

Category: Salads - Seafood

For the Salmon Teriyaki:
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp freshly grated ginger
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup dry sherry
4 salmon fillets, 4 to 6 ounces each

For the Orange Salad:
1/8 cup olive oil
1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 naval oranges, peeled and sectioned
1 bunch watercress, rinsed and dried
3 scallions, chopped

Combine the garlic, ginger, sugar, soy sauce and sherry in a bowl. Add the salmon fillets and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour before grilling or broiling.

Combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and nutmeg in a separate bowl. Add the thinly sliced onion and orange sections to the oil and vinegar dressing.

Preheat the grill or broiler to high. Cook the salmon for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until the fish is just cooked through. Add the watercress to the onion-orange mixture and toss. Divide this salad mixture among 4 plates. Place the salmon on top of the salad. Garnish with chopped scallions. Serves 4
