In light of my recent laziness (and brokeness, thanks new car), I have been really excited about making simple, quality meals. This is one of them, adapted from a Martha Stewart cookbook my mom gave me ages ago. Served with jasmine rice and broccoli sauteed in a little soy sauce, garlic, and red pepper flakes, this salmon is a full meal in less than 30 that’s even kinda good for you (I don’t always aim for healthy, sometimes it just finds me).

Ingredients:

Salmon filets [about $8 a pound for fresh Alaskan salmon]

Hoisin sauce [$3]

1 small OJ [$2]

honey [$3]

Jasmine white rice (or brown rice if you’re really trying to be healthy) and broccoli, for serving.

Directions:

Preheat the broiler.

If making rice, start to cook to the package directions.

Mix Hoisin sauce, honey, and OJ in a bowl in a 3:2:1 ratio, or to taste. Brush on salmon filets and place in the broiler for about 15 minutes.  Re-Glaze salmon about halfway through to intensify flavor. While salmon is cooking, make broccoli, if desired.

Serve with side dishes and enjoy!
