Health benefits of Ginger Sesame Glazed Salmon

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for reducing inflammation and promoting cardiovascular health. It is also rich in vitamin D, which helps regulate insulin levels and improve mood, both of which are important for managing PCOS symptoms. Additionally, salmon provides a good amount of B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy production and helps maintain healthy nerve function. Including salmon in your diet can help balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being.

Ingredients

10 oz. Salmon Filet
2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce (or coconut aminos)
2 tsp. Sesame Oil
1 Tbsp. Rice Vinegar
1 tsp. Minced Ginger
2 tsp. Minced Garlic
1 tbsp. Red Boat Fish Sauce
1 tbsp. Sugar Free Ketchup
2 tbsp. White Wine

Instructions

1. In a tupperware container, combine 2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce (or coconut aminos), 1 Tbsp. Rice Vinegar, 1 tsp. Minced Ginger, 2 tsp. Minced Garlic, and 1 tbsp. Red Boat Fish Sauce.
2. Slice salmon filet into size of your choosing and place in marinate liquid skin side up. Coat both sides and let fish sit in marinade for about 10-15 minutes.
3. Bring a pan to high heat and add 2 tsp. sesame oil. Swirl pan to distribute oil.
4. Once you see the first wisp of smoke from the oil, add fish skin side down.
5. Cook fish skin side down until crisp, then flip and cook on the other side. This should take 3-4 minutes per side. Once you flip the fish, add all marinate liquids to the pan and let it boil with the fish.
6. Remove fish from pan and add 1 tbsp. sugar free ketchup, and 2 tbsp. white wine to the marinate liquids. Let simmer for 4-5 minutes to reduce.
7. Serve sauce on the side and chop fresh cilantro to sprinkle on top. You can also garnish with black sesame seeds if you’d like!
