Indonesian Salmon - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup light soy sauce, divided
    1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
    1 tablespoon mustard powder (or hot Asian mustard)
    1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
    4 (5 ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed and thinly sliced or 4 salmon steaks
    nonstick cooking spray
    1 tablespoon sesame seeds
    2 small carrots, cut into julienne strips
    1 leek, trimmed, rinsed and cut into julienne strips (white part only)
    1 1 cup reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth or 1 cup vegetable broth
    1 teaspoon sesame oil
Preparation
    In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, lemon juice, mustard powder and the spice powder.
    Place the salmon in a shallow dish, brushing both sides of the fish with the soy mixture. Cover the dish with plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
    Preheat the broiler.
    Spray a medium skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds. Saute until the seeds are golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the sesame seeds to a plate.
    Spray the skillet again.
    Saute the carrots and leek until they are crisp, but tender, about 5 minutes. Add the water or broth, remaining soy sauce and sesame oil. Simmer until most of the liquid evaporates, about 10-15 minutes.
    Meanwhile, place the salmon on a broiler pan. Broil, 4 inches from the heat, until the fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
    Spoon the leek mixture evenly onto 4 serving plates and arrange the salmon filets on top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
    Serve immediately.
