Honey-Soy Broiled Salmon

I have never especially liked salmon, so I am not sure what possessed me to buy it. My grocery store had a special on it the other day, so I figured I would give it one more shot. THEN I came home and did a search for recipes I thought I would like. This one came from Allrecipes and had some really good reviews.

Whisk scallion, soy sauce, vinegar, honey and ginger in a medium bowl until the honey is dissolved.
Place salmon in a sealable plastic bag, add 3 tablespoons of the sauce and refrigerate; let marinate for 15 minutes. I usually just put it back in the plastic bag it comes in.

Reserve the remaining sauce.
Take out those paper dividers! Line a small baking pan with foil. Transfer the salmon to the pan, skinned-side down. (Discard the marinade.) Broil the salmon 4 to 6 inches from the heat source until cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes. Drizzle with the reserved sauce and garnish with sesame seeds.
I have yet to actually garnish with sesame seeds, mostly because I can't seem to remember to put them on my grocery list.
Now I like salmon. This is what it took. The Girl wasn't going to try it. I lied to her and told her it was tuna. Following the logic that she does like tuna, she tasted it and wanted more. I did eventually tell her the truth and she took it rather well. Hubby (and one of many nephews), not so much. Neither one of them was actually going to tell me, until I pointed out that if I don't know you dislike something, there is a good chance it will come up for dinner again soon.

So this makes in into my recipe box. Even if you are truly against salmon, try this one.
