Sweet and Spicy Asian Salmon Dish

As someone who's always strived to balance delicious flavors with nutritious eating, I've found that Asian salmon dish offers the perfect compromise. My journey with this cuisine began during a trip to Japan, where I fell in love with the delicate yet bold flavors that transformed simple salmon into a culinary masterpiece.

Back home, I was determined to recreate those mouthwatering experiences while maintaining a focus on health. Salmon, packed with omega-3 fatty acids and high-quality protein, became my go-to ingredient for nourishing meals.

Inspired by this unforgettable experience, I set out to recreate the dish in my own kitchen. Through countless experiments and tastings, I finally perfected my own version of the Asian salmon dish. It's a testament to the power of food to connect us to different cultures and create lasting memories.

( If you enjoy Asian cuisine, Pad Kra Pao is also a great choice ).

Total time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Ingredients:

  • 2 salmon fillets (6-8 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Steps:

  1. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Marinate Salmon : Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the glaze over them. Let marinate for 15 minutes (or skip this step if short on time).
  3. Cook Salmon: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  4. Glaze and Finish: Pour the remaining glaze over the salmon and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the glaze thickens and coats the fish.
  5. Serve: Transfer the salmon to serving plates and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with steamed rice or vegetables.

Notes:

  • For an extra layer of flavor, you can brush the salmon with additional marinade halfway through the baking time.
  • Serve the salmon with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
