Healthy Recipe: Braised Salmon with Soy and Ginger

Ingredients:
16 ounces salmon fillet
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/4 cup mirin (a Japanese cooking wine found in ethnic stores and most Whole Foods)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons vodka
1 tablespoon butter
2 scallions, white parts only, chopped
3-4 sprigs cilantro

Directions:
Cut the salmon into 1" squares. Heat the oil in at 12" nonstick pan over medium-high heat and add the salmon cubes and ginger. Sear together for about 1 minute, then pour the mirin, soy sauce, and vodka over the salmon. Turn the heat to medium and cook for about 3 minutes, until the fish turns pale. Add the butter and turn off the heat. Spoon the salmon onto a serving plate and top with the scallion and cilantro.
Makes 4 servings.
