Prep time - 15 minutes 

Cook time - 10 minutes

Yields - 4 servings

Serving Size - 3 oz salmon, ¼ C broth

**Ingredients**

1 C low-sodium chicken broth

½ C shiitake mushroom caps, rinsed and sliced (or substitute dried shiitake mushrooms)

2 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced (or 2 tsp ground)

¼ C scallions (green onions), rinsed and chopped

1 Tbsp lite soy sauce

1 Tbsp sesame oil (optional)

12 oz salmon fillet, cut into 4 portions (3 oz each)

**Directions**
