Bourbon-Glazed Salmon

I love the Bourbon Salmon from Publix, but it can get pretty pricey at $6.99 per fillet, so I was on the hunt for a good recipe that I could duplicate at home for much less.  I found this recipe from Cooking Light magazine and it came to just at $3.25 per fillet.  It is really good and worth making.  This makes 8 servings but I cut it down to just 2.

Bourbon-Glazed Salmon

Ingredients

• 1  cup  packed brown sugar
• 6  tablespoons  bourbon
• 1/4  cup  low-sodium soy sauce
• 2  tablespoons  fresh lime juice
• 2  teaspoons  grated peeled fresh ginger
• 1/2  teaspoon  salt
• 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
• 2  garlic cloves, crushed
• 8  (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
• Cooking spray
• 4  teaspoons  sesame seeds (optional) 
• 1/2  cup  thinly sliced green onions

Preparation

Combine the first 8 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; add salmon fillets. Seal bag, and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes, turning bag once. Remove fillets from bag; discard marinade.

Week 1-Nutrisystem

Yes, I've been away from my blog for a while with every day crazy, kid things and the Thanksgiving holidays!  I'm happy to be back!  YAY!

I just finished up my first week on Nutrisystem. I have lost exactly 4lbs in that one week and I'm extremely happy with the results.  I've tried Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers and figured..what the hell why not Nutrisystem!  I can give this diet TWO very big THUMBS UP!  All the prepacked food I ate this week was very good.  I'm looking forward to Week 2 starting tomorrow!  Whooo Hoooo!
