Wasabi-Crusted Salmon

Cooking Instructions

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small mixing bowl, blend wasabi powder, water, butter, salt and pepper together until smooth. Spread wasabi butter evenly on skin side of each salmon fillet. Place fillets on a buttered sheet pan, skin side up. Bake wasabi salmon in oven until just cooked through, about 8-12 minutes.

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, reduce red wine by 2/3. Mix with soy sauce and olive oil. Set vinaigrette aside.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook beans in boiling water for 2 minutes, covered. Cook for 1 more minute, uncovered. Drain. Season with salt and pepper.

Arrange beans in the centers of 4 plates and place the salmon on top. Drizzle vinaigrette onto plates and serve.
