Broiled Salmon with Green Onions

  
This is adapted from Bon Appetit. The salmon is moist and soft on the inside, crispy on the outside and oh so yummy! I served it with Asparagus with Pancetta and Shallots.

Ingredients:
3 green garlic or cloves, spiced thin
3 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp honey
1/2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
1 lb center cut salmon with skin on
1 bunch of scallions
Salt and pepper
1 jalapeno pepper, sliced thin

Combine first 6 Ingredinets. Pour 1/2 in a ziplock bag, add salmon and let marinade overnight. 

Preheat broiler to high.

Toss green onions with a little vegetable oil and salt. Lay on a baking sheet and broil until they start to brown. Top with salmon, drizzle with the marinade and 1/2 of the remaining marinade, top with sliced jalapeƱos. Broil until salmon is charred, 4 – 7 minutes. 

Serves 4.
