Sesame Soy Salmon & Grilled Zucchini
This easy sesame salmon with grilled zucchini is a healthy 30-minute dinner finished with a simple sesame-soy sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 large salmon fillet about 1 lb
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 zucchini sliced lengthwise into ⅛-inch planks
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- ½ tablespoon sesame seeds
- Fresh cilantro for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler and grill: Set your oven broiler to high and preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates if needed.
- Broil the salmon: Place the salmon fillet on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil for about 10 minutes, or until the salmon reaches 125–130°F for medium doneness.
- Grill the zucchini: While the salmon is broiling, toss the sliced zucchini with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for about 3 minutes per side, until tender with light char marks.
- Make the sauce & serve: In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon the sauce over the salmon and serve over the grilled zucchini. Finish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
