Asian Style Baked Salmon.
Coming soon to my Instagram @a.wandering.palateSalmon fillets are marinated in a harmonious blend of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and a hint of honey for this easy dish! As it bakes, the salmon absorbs the savory-sweet flavors, creating a caramelized glaze on the edges.
Served alongside steamed jasmine rice and stir-fried vegetables, this dish offers a delightful balance of delicate fish, umami-rich marinade, and vibrant Asian-inspired accents.
