Recipe for Gingered Salmon

I'm dying to do this recipe again.  It was very easy and very satisfying.  Bonus:  also good for you!  I saw a recipe on some website for a gingered salmon served with cucumber and radish salad but despite searching online, I can't find it again!!!!  So I did what all home cooks do-winged it.
Now, Mr. ELEB likes radishes; me, not so much so I didn't include them in the side salad but you could certainly do so.  The flavorful salmon worked well with simple steamed broccoli and cilantro brown rice.


Yield: 2 servings
Time: 10 minutes


Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets, about 5 oz each
• 4 TBSP freshly grated ginger
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 TBSP olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Lemon wedges for serving

Method:

• Position broiler rack about 4 inches from broiler and preheat oven to "high broil".
• Wash and pat the fillets dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Mix olive oil, zest, and ginger together and pat on top of fish; place fish on a foil lined baking sheet.
• Broil for about 6-7 minutes, watching carefully.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

For the cucumber salad, I think the original had a few more ingredients besides the radishes (?) but I just seeded a cucumber and mixed it with garlic, ginger, plain non-fat Greek yogurt and a squeeze of lemon.  Chill in fridge while fish is being prepared.
