Baked Salmon with Gingered Vegetables for 2

Ingredients

2 5 to 6-ounce salmon filets, skinned

1 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

1/2 small onion, sliced thin

1 minced clove of garlic

1/2 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

1/4 pound baby Portobello mushrooms, sliced thin

1/2 medium zucchini, sliced thin

1/2 red pepper, seeded and sliced thin

1/2 teaspoon olive oil

Butter-flavored refrigerated cooking spray

Freshly grated pepper

Directions

* Preheat your oven to 400° F.
* Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan.
* Add onion, garlic and ginger. Continue cooking and stirring until the onions are soft.
* Add the mushrooms, zucchini, and pepper. Continue to cook until the vegetables are tender which should take about 6 or 7 minutes. Set aside.
* Line a baking dish with aluminum foil and coat with cooking spray.
* Place salmon in the dish and sprinkle with vinegar and pepper.
* Top the salmon with vegetables and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
* Bake for about 20 minutes, until done.

When ready to serve, put a salmon fillet on each plate. Place half the vegetables on each of the two fillets. Add a side dish of brown rice or French/Italian hard crust bread for some added carbohydrates, if desired.
