Sesame Salmon for One

Sesame Salmon for One

Cooking for just one person can be a challenge, especially if you’re not interested in eating a huge portion or having the same meal over and over for the rest of the week. This salmon recipe is a great way to get your weekly serving of fish without letting any go to waste. Salmon is a great source of protein and heart-healthy omega-3s. The zucchini adds in extra benefits with fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and potassium.

2 tablespoons low-fat sesame ginger salad dressing
1 clove garlic, minced
1 salmon filet, skinless (about 4 ounces)
2 small zucchinis, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (lightly toasted, if desired)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place garlic and dressing in a plastic bag and add the salmon filet. Cover fish with the dressing and allow it to marinate in the bag for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

Spray a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray. Place the zucchini pieces in the center and cover with the salmon. Pour all the remaining dressing from the bag
over the salmon.

Use the aluminum foil to completely cover the salmon and vegetables so that it makes a sealed packet. Place the packet on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow packet to sit for a minute. Be careful of the steam released when the packet is opened. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
