**Serves:** 2–3  
**Total Time:** 30 minutes

## Ingredients

### For the Salmon and Glaze

- 2–3 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 Tbsp olive or avocado oil
- 2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ tsp fresh ginger, grated

### For the Warm Tomato-Ginger Relish

- 2 medium vine-ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ tsp fresh ginger, grated
- ½ tsp rice vinegar
- ¼ tsp sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

### For the Sesame Green Beans or Asparagus

- 8 oz fresh green beans, trimmed (alternate: asparagus)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp rice vinegar
- ½ tsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp sesame seeds

## Instructions

1. **Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).**  
Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. **Make the glaze:**  
In a small bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
3. **Prepare and bake the salmon:**  
Pat salmon fillets dry and brush lightly with olive oil. Coat the tops evenly with the hoisin glaze.  
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is glossy.  
(For extra caramelization, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.)
4. **Make the tomato-ginger relish:**  
While the salmon bakes, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.  
Add garlic and ginger; sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.  
Stir in diced tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook 2–3 minutes, just until the juices release and thicken slightly.  
Remove from heat and stir in rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a few grinds of pepper.
5. **Prepare the sesame green beans:**  
In another pan, simmer green beans in a bit of water 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.  
Drain and return to the pan. Toss with sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame seeds.  
Cook 1 minute more to coat evenly.
6. **Serve:**  
Place salmon on plates, spoon warm tomato-ginger relish over the top, and serve alongside sesame green beans.  
Drizzle any extra glaze or relish juices over the plate for added flavor.

## Chef's Notes

- Add a sprinkle of chopped green onions or fresh cilantro for color.
- The relish also works beautifully over grilled shrimp or tofu.
- Serve with jasmine rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
