Mom's Easy Asian Baked Salmon
This salmon dish keeps on giving by using leftovers to create other easy meals. Bake once, eat twice!
Ingredients
1 2-lb (approximately) salmon filet (affordable options at Aldi and Lidl)
4 Tbs sesame oil
2 Tbs low sodium or light soy sauce
1/2 cup julienne (cut into thin strips) sweet peppers (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Method
Pre-heat over to 400 degrees F
Place the salmon on a full size baking sheet (18" X 26") lined with parchment baking paper to prevent sticking and makes clean up easier.
Distribute the sesame oil and soy sauce evenly on the salmon filet.
Rub in the oil and soy sauce so all of the salmon is covered in the marinade.
Salt and pepper the salmon to taste. You may want to use a little less salt as the soy sauce is already salty. You can always add salt letter after cooking and tasting.
Optional - Sprinkle the sweet peppers over and around the salmon.
Bake salmon for 25-30 minutes.
If you would like a slightly charred salmon, turn off oven and use the broil option on high for 2-3 min until desired charred-ness.
