Waiting for the Weekend

Is it Friday yet?

No?

Darn.

How about now?

(Sigh)…..Ok.

While we wait for the weekend together, here’s a recipe I tried out a couple of weeks ago for Soy-glazed Salmon with Watercress Salad from the most recent issue of Everyday Food. Very tasty. Very pretty (would be nice for entertaining). And the hardest part—learning how to supreme an orange. By the end I was getting pretty good. As with all things, practice makes perfect.

Soy-Glazed Salmon with Watercress Salad
From Everyday Food

Ingredients:
2 TBL soy sauce
4 teaspoons honey
2 oranges, peeled, flesh cut into segments and juice squeezed from them
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 TBL vegetable oil
2 salmon fillets
1 bunch watercress, thick ends trimmed
½ small red onion, thinly sliced

1.In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and orange juice to make the glaze. Season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 TBL glaze, 1 teaspoon honey, vinegar, and oil. Set aside.
2.Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Season salmon with salt and pepper and broil for 5 minutes. Brush with glaze and then broil until opaque throughout, about 3 more minutes. Brush with glaze once more.
3.Add orange segments, watercress, and onion to the dressing and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Divide salad among plates and top with salmon. Serve.
