You'll BEARly be able to believe today’s episode! Listen along to hear about a historical moment from the "lighter" side of war, as we discuss Wojtek and the Battle of Monte Cassino. Additionally, I will provide you with a list of ingredients and directions to a recipe that I like to call Private Woj's Honey Basted Salmon.
Private Woj's Honey Basted Salmon
Ingredients:
•4 fillets of salmon – I am using one large piece that I will cut into 2 fillets.
•⅓ Cup of Honey
•⅓ Cup thinly sliced green onions – I recommend chopping a bit more than the ⅓ cup and use it as garnish.
•2 tbsp of Soy Sauce – I recommend low sodium
•2 cloves of garlic, minced
•¾ tsp of grated fresh ginger
•½ tsp of chili flakes
•salt and pepper to taste
•*Optional* sesame seeds for garnish
Directions:
1.Preheat Oven to 375
2.Combine honey, green onions, soy sauce, sesame seeds, garlic, onion, ginger, and chili flakes in a bowl and mix.
3.Place salmon in a baking dish. Spoon honey mixture evenly over the top of the salmon; trying to coat the entire surface.
4.Put salmon in the oven, and, using a spoon, baste your salmon with the sauce in the pan, every 5 minutes .
5.Cook until it easily flakes with a fork,or reaches an internal temp of 140°, which is approximately 18-20 minutes.
Cheers!
