Salmon for one

I really enjoy salmon, but I don't cook it very often at home because I live with a nonfish-eater. On a recent day however, I found myself cooking for one so I took advantage of the opportunity and made myself a salmon fillet. It was a quick dish to put together. First I sprayed a broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray and then placed the salmon on it. Then I squeezed fresh lime juice over it and let it set while the broiler heated up. I put the salmon into the broiler next and while it began cooking, I mixed together equal parts of hoisin (an Asian barbecue sauce) and honey. After just a few minutes, I pulled the salmon out and basted it with the hoisin-honey mixture. Back under the broiler for a few minutes to finish cooking and then it was ready for plating. I placed the salmon on a bed of lightly sauteed zucchini and summer squash and then garnished with green scallions and a lime wedge. Easy, flavourful, and healthy.
