Teriyaki Salmon with Zucchini

Wow, I've been terrible at keeping up with this whole food blog and was in a state of hiatus for a bit!  Now that I have a bit more time on my hands the next month I shall try and get back into the swing of things.

One I will try to actually use my real camera and not my iphone..

Two I will try and post more recipes including ones non-meaters can enjoy.

So a new friend of mine gave me some zucchini from their garden and that led me on a search for recipes containing zucchini.  The two that automatically came to me was stir fry and bread, but I decided to throw those two recipes out and try something new.  Since I'm trying to incorporate more omega's into my diet and attempt to make myself like cooked fish I went with a fish recipe.

I REALLY do not like cooked fish and this actually came out nicely and I may just be on the road to liking fish GASP!

Ingredients:

• Low-sodium teriyaki sauce or soyaki 
• 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
• Sesame seeds
• 2 small zucchini, thinly sliced
• 4 scallions, chopped ( I used shallots because I didn't have scallions)
• Canola oil ( I used omega 3 & 6 enriched cooking oil)

Directions:

1)Combine 5 tablespoons teriyaki sauce and fish in a zip-top plastic bag. 

Marinate for 20 minutes. 

2) Toast sesame seeds in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, and set aside for later use. 

3) Drain the fish and  discard the marinade. Add fish to  the hot skillet, and cook 5 minutes on flesh side. Turn and cook for 5 more minutes over medium-low heat on the skin side. Remove the fish from skillet. 

4 Add the zucchini, scallions, and 2 teaspoons oil to skillet. Sauté 4 minutes, or until lightly browned.

5) Add 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce or soyaki sauce and stir. 

6)Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and top with the cooked salmon fillet.
