Sweet Soy and Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon with Sesame Green Beans

by Kristi Rimkus on March 2, 2010


Who wouldn’t want such a colorful dish for dinner?

Wild Alaskan salmon and crunchy green beans. You won’t even notice you’re eating all those amazing Omega 3 fatty acids and wonderful phytonutrients, because the food tastes so good!

Unless you’re from Mars, or you just hate seafood, you will definitely find this dish from Taste and Tell a meal worth trying. Wonderful Asian flavors like sesame oil and ginger really work well with sweet Wild Alaskan salmon.

Using those same Asian flavors for the green beans, tie the salmon and green beans together well.

Nice job Taste and Tell! Thanks for the recipe!

Happy, healthy cooking!

I’m with you. I buy Costo’s Wild Alaskan salmon. It’s affordable and delicious, even if you do nothing but roast it with salt and pepper!
