(with Huiji Waist Tonic)


Ginger And Soy Baked Salmon
Salmon is an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamins and minerals which including vitamin B12 and etc but out of those mentioned, it is their omega-3 fatty acids that receives the most attention. For this recipe, you can replace salmon head with fillet or cutlet but personally I love the texture of the salmon head which tastes great in all way of cooking methods. And with a spoonful or two of Huiji Waist Tonic it actually lifts up the taste of this dish too.


(Yield: 2  | Preparation: 5 minutes  | Baking: 20 minutes)

Ingredients:
1 Medium Size Salmon Head, halved
1 Tablespoon Sweet Soya Sauce
1 Tablespoon Light Soya Sauce
1 Tablespoon Huiji Waist Tonic
1/2 Tablespoon Grated Ginger
2 Stalks of Spring Onion, thinly sliced
2 Small Red Chilli, thinly sliced
Some Toasted Sesame Seeds

Method:
1. Rub salmon head with some sea salt, rinse and pat dry. Next combine sweet soya sauce, light soya sauce, ginger, chilli, spring onion (half portion) and Huiji waist tonic in a small bowl.

2. Place salmon head on the centre of the parchment paper. Pour the sweet soya sauce marinade over and toss well then let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.

3. Baked salmon in preheated 180°C (Degree Celsius) oven for 15 minutes or until cook through.

4. Unwrap salmon, top with remaining spring onion and toasted sesame seeds plus 1/2 cup of Huiji Wait Tonic and serve with steamed rice.

Tips:
~ Salmon Fish Head can be replaced with two slices Salmon Fillet / cutlet with total weight of 350 - 400g.
