SMUGGLERS RUN SESAME-GINGER SALMON
Sesame-Ginger Sauce
Ingredients;
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoons cup minced garlic
2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons cold water + 2 tablespoons corn starch to make a slurry

Preparation;
1)    Place all ingredients except the cold water and corn starch in a sauce pan
2)    Whisk the mixture while heating on the stovetop until it reaches a light boil
3)    Whisk in the slurry slowly as needed while reducing heat. Product should cling to a spoon slightly and be thinner than pancake syrup.

Oven Roasted Vegetables
1)    Cut cauliflower, zucchini, yellow squash, red bell peppers and Brussel sprouts into bite size pieces
2)    In a large bowl toss the vegetables with salt and pepper and enough olive oil to coat completely
3)    Place the seasoned vegetables single layer on a baking sheet.
4)    Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees. Roast for 20 minutes, stir and roast for another 15 minutes or until a nice roast has been achieved. 

Prepare the Salmon
1)    Grill, poach, bake or pan fry the salmon.  If you are new to cooking seafood you may wish to use a meat thermometer and stop cooking at 140 degrees. Note that the salmon will continue to cook after being removed from the heat. 145 degrees is a safe serving temperature. Season with salt and pepper
2)    Toss the roasted vegetables with enough sesame ginger sauce
3)    Serve with your favorite rice; White, brown or wild rice or a rice pilaf.
4)    Plate the meal by placing the rice and vegetables on the plate first and place the salmon partially over the vegetables and rice. Drizzle a little sesame-ginger sauce over the salmon and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
