Marinade

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients until well-combined.
• Place the salmon in a large bowl (or large Ziploc resealable bag) and pour the marinade on top, making sure that the salmon is evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• As the salmon marinades, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

For the Fish

• Prepare the vegetables (peeling and slicing) then place them onto the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Toss to coat before spreading the vegetables into a single layer (slight overlap is okay) leaving space in the center of the baking sheet for the salmon.
• Once the salmon fillets are done marinating, place the salmon in the open space on the baking sheet. Pour the leftover marinade over the salmon.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon and desired doneness (the salmon should flake easily with a fork).
• Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Optionally top with toasted sesame seeds. Best served immediately.

• Heat sesame oil in a large skillet(s) over medium high heat.
• When oil is hot add the ground chicken and sauté for a few minutes, mixing continuously. Then, add in chopped mushrooms, fresh basil, and water chestnuts and continue to sauté until chicken is cooked all the way through, around 8-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together all the sauce ingredients.
• Pour sauce over chicken mixture and let simmer for a few more minutes to let the sauce thicken.
• Scoop cooked chicken in lettuce leaves to serve.
