Leveraging my background in global cuisine, I present this Sesame-Ginger Glazed Salmon—a weeknight winner that marries clean flavors, omega-3–rich fish, and a vibrant slaw for textural contrast and color.
Experience & Expertise:
I calibrated sugar and soy proportions to ensure the glaze caramelizes without burning, while preserving the salmon’s moisture.
Ingredients (serves 2)
2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
Salt & pepper
Glaze:
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp grated ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
Asian Slaw:
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp honey
Salt & pepper
Steps
Mix glaze: Whisk soy, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.
Prep salmon: Pat dry, season lightly with salt and pepper.
Cook salmon (10–12 min): Heat oven to 400 °F. Place fillets on baking sheet lined with foil. Brush with half the glaze. Bake 8 min; brush with remaining glaze, bake 2–4 min more until cooked through.
Assemble slaw: Toss cabbage and carrots with vinegar, oil, honey, salt, and pepper.
Plate: Serve salmon atop slaw, sprinkle sesame seeds and lime wedge on side.
