SALMON FILLETS MARINATED IN WATERMELON JUICE
Ingredients • 4 tablespoons soy sauce • 4 tablespoons sake • 4 tablespoons watermelon juice • pinch of freshly grated ginger • 1 pound 2 ounces salmon fillets, skinned • 2 tablespoons sunflower oil • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds • 1/4 watermelon, peeled, seeded, and cubed
Directions Combine the soy sauce, sake, watermelon juice, and ginger a large non-metal dish, add the salmon fillets, turning to coat, and marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Pour the oil into an ovenproof baking dish. Drain the salmon fillets, discarding the marinade, add the fillets to the baking dish in a single layer, and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Bake for about 7 minutes, until the flesh flakes easily.
