It’s loaded with garlic, sweet and heat that tastes a million times better than take-out. Spicy, crispy, sweet with ginger and garlic flavor. Truly finger licking salmon, and also one of those dishes that don’t require too much standing nor spending time in the kitchen. You can serve it with veg fried rice, rice noodles, or simple sesame noodles, or even some plain rice or quinoa. This is an easy dish you must try in summer. It is one of the easy dinner recipes that you can make without standing much on kitchen. Kids would love it and surely not only kids. I have few more Chinese Asian Inspired recipes that you can look on.
I have not cooked salmon many times but I think and believe the best and facile way to make salmon is by cooking in foil. The flavors will steep right in, leaving us with the most flavorful and tender salmon ever. If you want a quick, easy and a fancy dinner, just go for this. You can make it for someone special and you can make it quick and spend some time with him/her. Let it be for a date night, game night, pot luck and I would say this salmon is the best to go for!
I placed this on a bed of salad and it was perfect for a healthy quick dinner. And salmon is totally healthy, I have heard it promotes joints, reduces inflammation and improves the memory.
