If you leave the salmon pieces whole, this makes an impressive entré. Just use a larger diameter bread to serve the piece.
Ingredients:
- 8 7-8 oz salmon fillets (the ones in the freezer section in a bag)
- 4 Tab hoisin sauce
- 4 Tab soy sauce
- 2 Tab fresh lime juice
- 1 Tab honey
- ½ tsp chili flakes, to taste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tab grated ginger
- ½ c Miracle Whip
- 2-3 green onions, finely sliced or chopped (keep white and green separate)
- 1 baguette, cut into ¼ inch slices
Directions:
- In a bowl combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and chili flakes.
- Stir well to dissolve the honey.
- Add the ginger, garlic, and white parts of the green onion (save the green parts for serving).
- Briefly rinse salmon fillets.
- Pat dry.
- Dredge the salmon, turning pieces in the sauce to saturate.
- Place pieces in a foil lined, rimmed baking sheet.
- Cut each fillet into half lengthwise and then into 5 crosswise. Leave close together.
- Cover with foil and allow to marinate in your refrigerator at least 30 minutes or longer.
- When getting close to your desired cooking time, preheat oven to 350°.
- Bake at 350 degrees 20 minutes, or until sauce is lightly bubbling and salmon has firmed up (inner flesh turns from translucent to opaque when nicely cooked).
- Remove from oven.
- Spread baguette slices with Miracle Whip and toast on one side.
- Place a piece of salmon on each piece of baguette.
- Spoon some of the sauce over each piece
- Top with a sprinkling of reserved green onion.
