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 ).

For ~2 servings
Author: Chris
Total time: 25 mins
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:
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
