You can probably tell by my posts so far this week that we were cooking out of the Grilling II Book again. The Sesame Ginger Salmon was on for last night. We thought it was very good. As the marinade is being made you reserve 1/3 cup for the salad then finish the marinade by adding soy sauce and sesame oil. The recipe has a tablespoon of wasabi powder in it; I was expecting some heat, but my powder must have lost its kick. Going to try this again with some freshly opened wasabi powder. The instructions for grilling the fish are to put it on an open grill over medium heat, no turning, and brush with reserved marinade every 2 minutes. The salmon was delicious, but the bottom side of the salmon filets were burned - and the tops weren't browned; recipe photo shows the salmon top grilled. Any way, this might be a good candidate for planking... But the salad was the biggest hit with us. It's spinach, cukes, avocado, orange segments radishes and toasted sliced almonds with an asian flavor dressing. We will do this one again.
