What's Cooking: Honey Soy Glazed Salmon

I usually just grill salmon on the BBQ or bake it in the oven, but wanted to try something different today. After a lot of perusing online, I found a recipe for Honey Soy salmon. I modified the recipe a little bit since I didn't have everything on hand. It came out beautifully! As an accompaniment, I served french green beans with caramelized onions and some soba (buckwheat) noodles in a soy/sesame oil sauce. This was such a great, light, and summery meal. I'm definitely making it again. The plus side is that everything was ready in about 20 minutes.

Honey Soy Salmon
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp of rice vinegar

Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined. Place salmon in a resealable plastic baggie with half of the sauce mixture. Let marinade for at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.

Turn on the broiler of your oven.

Place marinaded salmon onto foil covered sheet pan. Broil for about 6-8 minutes or until fish flakes easily.

Green Beans w/ Caramelized Onions 
1/4 of an onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp oil or butter
1 pinch of salt
2 cups green beans (I used frozen b/c it was all I had on hand)

Heat pan over medium heat. Add oil and onions into the pan. Add a healthy pinch of salt and periodically stir onions until they're a nice dark brown.

Add green beans, stirring to combine well. Cover with a lid and let cook for about 5-6 minutes. Flavor with salt and pepper as desired.

Soba Sesame Noodles
1/4 cup of soy sauce
2 tsp sugar
1-2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
1 tsp of white vinegar
red chili sauce

Adjust all the amounts to your liking. Some people may like it a little sweeter

Mix above ingredients well and add to cooked soba noodles.
Add some scallions and sesame seeds if you want to be fancy.

Writing this post is making me hungry again!
