How to Make Asian Influnced Salmon

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa (adjust to your preferred level of spice). Stir to combine.
  3. Place salmon fillets (about 1 pound) in a baking dish.
  4. Brush the salmon generously with the salsa mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
