Sweet and Sour Salmon

Sweet and Sour Salmon

This is a real simple dinner for two that takes no time to prepare and cook. Plus it’s rather healthy, minus the sugar in the sweet and sour sauce. Pay attention to the broiling time of the salmon. Depending on the thickness of the fillets, it can take anywhere between 6-8 minutes. They will need to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees. The temp will go up at least 5 degrees after letting it rest. Serve the salmon and bok choy with steamed rice.
