Chef's Note & Story

Salmon goes well with my cilantro rice recipe as a side dish.
I love salmon and I eat it a few times a week. It is so rich in flavor and is loaded with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, it is especially delicious when brushed with Ginger, soy and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
A very easy glaze to make and so flavorful. You will make it over and over again. Never over cook your vegetables. Buy organic when possible.
