Steps for Preparation
- Preheat oven to broiler setting and set an
oven rack about 8 inches below the broiler. Season the salmon with
half each of the salt and pepper.
- Place seasoned fillets on a backing tray and
broil until lightly browned on top and cooked throughout.
- Check for doneness of each fillet using a Cook'd
Right® Sensor.
- Quickly insert dark sensor tip into center
of fillet. Wait 5-10 seconds.
- Remove sensor tip and check color.
- Continue checking with the same sensor until
done.
- Discard sensor when finished.
- Fillet is done when tip of sensor is fully
orange, at about 15 minutes.
- If the salmon is browning too quickly, move
the tray to a lower shelf. The fish, when cooked, should flake easily
with a fork.
- While the salmon is cooking, heat a sauté
pan over low heat and warm the olive oil. Ad the garlic and curry
powder and cook briefly, about 30 seconds. Add the zucchini and
tomatoes and stir well.
- Increase the temperature to medium heat and
add the water and lemon juice. Cook until the zucchini softens and
the tomato begins to dissolve, about 10 minutes. Season mixture
with the remaining salt and pepper.
- Place a cooked piece of salmon on top of a
portion of the zucchini stew. Drizzle the salmon with the extra
virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the cilantro and scallion before
serving.
