INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 pounds raw salmon
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce

INSTRUCTIONS
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack over top. Spray the rack with nonstick spray.

- Preheat the broiler in your oven. (Or preheat your grill, etc if you prefer to use something else.)
- Remove salmon with kitchen tongs and place directly on the wire rack. Sprinkle with a little bit of salt and pepper, then place directly under the broiler. Cook for 10-12 minutes, depending on the salmon’s thickness (our’s was just about an inch thick), until opaque and easily flakable with a fork. You can flip the salmon halfway through cooking if desired.
