Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Frozen salmon fillets
Fat-free ginger soy salad dressing
Wasabi rice seasoning
Toasted sesame oil
1 sheet of aluminum foil per piece of salmon (big enough to wrap the salmon into individual packets)

Ginger Wasabi Salmon

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2

Brush the sheets of aluminum foil with toasted sesame oil.
Step 3

Place one piece of frozen fish on each aluminum sheet.
Step 4

Brush the top and sides of each piece of fish with ginger soy salad dressing.
Step 5

Sprinkle the top of each piece of fish with the wasabi rice seasoning.
Step 6

Join the long ends of the foil together and fold it down several times, until it meets the salmon. Then fold up each end so that each piece of fish is sealed into an individual packet.
Step 7

Place the fish packets on a cookie sheet and bake it on the center rack at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Step 8

Remove the fish from the foil before serving.

Tips & Warnings

Fish bought fresh, then frozen, has a better flavor and texture than pre-frozen fish. Wasabi is Japanese horseradish and is usually served with sushi. Wasabi rice seasoning is an Asian food staple that comes in a shaker container and is available in most Asian food stores. If wasabi rice seasoning isn't available then add a small amount of wasabi paste to the salad dressing. Any store that sells fresh-made sushi should have tubes of wasabi paste available for sale. Wasabi not your thing? Simply omit it from the recipe, substituting a tasty ginger-soy salmon or substitute pineapple chunks, in juice, for a tropical flair. Toasted sesame oil adds a wonderful, nutty aroma but extra virgin olive oil, or even cooking spray, works just as well.
