Teriyaki Salmon, Garlic-Sesame Asparagus & Wasabi Mashed Potatoes

I came up with this recipe about 6 years ago! I like to make this when I am having company for dnner...

If you don't care for Salmon, you can certainly use Flank Steak or Chicken Breasts or Fried Tofu even if you are vegetarian

for salmon:

4 fresh salmon filets

1/4 c Bragg's Liquid Amino's (or soy sauce)

1/3 c brown sugar

1 garlic clove, pulverized

splash of sesame oil

asparagus:

1 bunch fresh asparagus

sesame oil

1 garlic clove, pulverized

2 tb Bragg's Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce)

potaotoes:

5 medium russett potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters

3 tb butter

1/2 cup fat free evaporated milk

1 tb prepared wasabi paste

2 tb Bragg's Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce)

Prepare "Teriyaki" sauce

peel & pulverize garlic cloves. (All of them) In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/4 c bragg's (or soy sauce), 1/3 c brown sugar, 1 garlic clove, and splash of sesame oil. Whisk until sugar dissolves completely. Set aside for salmon.

Preheat oven on "broil". Position top rack about 8" from top element.

In a fry (saute) pan place asparagus, filling with 1 1/2" water, heat to boil, then simmer until tender, about 10-15 minutes.

While Asparagus simmers, in a large sauce pot heat water and cook potato chunks to tender, about 12-15 minutes.

When Asparagus is tender, drain water then add sesame oil, garlic & bragg's (or soy sauce) and saute until the skin starts to caramelize, remove from heat and set aside.

Finish off potatoes, drain, add seasonings then smash (or whip with a hand mixer). Set aside.

Using a baking sheet place salmon filet's (or steak, chicken, tofu) with a pastry brush, brush each piece with teriyaki sauce and place under broiler (about 8" from element) and cook, each side about 5 minutes.

On each plate (4) put a pile of potatoes, asparagus (right accross the center) and salmon on the opposite side of the potatoes. Drizzle salmon with remaining Teriyaki sauce and serve.

Yum! Enjoy...

They are creamy and have that "wasabi" bite and they will have a tinge of green from the wasabi! hehhe
