Wasabi Salmon

One thing you will learn about me in this blog is that I am a lazy chef...I like to save time because a lot of days, it's 8 pm before I get around to cooking dinner. This leads me to pay a premium for pre-chopped veggies, etc. at the store. Sure the difference between whole mushrooms and the cleaned/sliced ones are only 20 cents, but the time it saves me!!!

Last night I had a meeting with a financial planner and didn't get home until about 7:45 pm. I had bought some salmon yesterday at the store and decided to try out a new Cooking Light recipe...only I got lazy and completely revised it. I started out with their Wasabi salmon recipe and ended up with this...

D'Ann's version of Wasabi Salmon

A couple of shakes of low-sodium soy sauce (roughly 2 TBS)

1/2 tsp of sesame oil

About 2 TBS of wasabi cream sauce

3 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets - approx. 1 inch thick

Mix everything but the salmon in a bowl and then spread on salmon and let sit for a few minutes. Heat a non-stick skillet with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add fish; cook 3 minutes. Turn fish over. Reduce heat to medium; cook 8 minutes or until fish is done.

Ideally, I would have served this with jasmine rice and snow peas or something, but I didn't have any vegetables that sounded good in the house, so I just served it over some white rice with a little salt/pepper and finely chopped green onions. It was really delicious :)
