Asian Salmon

Recipe View Prepare the Salmon: Gently score the salmon fillets on both sides with shallow cuts, this will help the marinade penetrate the fish better. Place the fillets in a glass baking dish. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Make the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, shallots, garlic, brown sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper. Pour the marinade evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. (5 minutes + 30-120 minutes marinating)

Recipe View Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (10 minutes)

Recipe View Cook the Rice: While the salmon marinates and oven preheats, combine the water, rice, and dill (if using) in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork. (25 minutes)

Recipe View Bake the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (30 minutes)

Recipe View Serve: Serve the Asian Salmon over the prepared rice. Spoon the remaining marinade from the baking dish over the salmon and rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
