Soy Sesame Salmon Marinade- no real measurements

• about 1/2 c. soy sauce
• 1 tsp. hot chili sauce (red Chinese sauce) – Super spicy
• 1 tbsp. sesame oil
• sesame seeds

Marinate salmon pieces in the marinade for a day in the fridge.  Cook in oven at 450 for about 20-25 minutes.

This went so well with our fresh aspargus, broccoli and mushrooms!

It was also great to enjoy a real, healthy dinner at home together.  Since Brady was gone for the past two weeks I stuck to simple dinners that didn’t involve much cooking or prep.  Then on the weekends we have been going out with friends as much as possible because I know it will be a little before we can go out again!

I hope your week is going great!
