Asian Salmon Recipe
This Asian Salmon Recipe features a marinade of soy sauce, orange juice, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, honey, and black pepper that infuses the fish with a balance of savory, sweet, and aromatic flavors. The salmon is marinated for at least an hour to absorb the sauce before being baked until flaky and opaque. Topping with sesame seeds adds a subtle nutty crunch. Simple to prepare, this dish pairs well as a main course with steamed rice or vegetables.
