How to Make Roasted Salmon With Wasabi Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil into a large roasting pan.
  3. Place one 1-pound salmon fillet, skin-side down, in the prepared pan.
  4. Brush the salmon with 1 teaspoon olive oil and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Roast for 20-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. While the salmon roasts, in a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon wasabi powder and 8 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of water until smooth.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream and season to taste with salt. Add more wasabi powder for extra heat, if desired.
  8. Serve the roasted salmon immediately topped with the wasabi cream.
