Asian Salmon requires about 1 hour and 45 minutes from start to finish. Watching your figure? This gluten free, dairy free, and pescatarian recipe has 388 calories, 26g of protein, and 13g of fat per serving. This recipe serves 8. It works well as a rather inexpensive main course. If you have salmon filets, olive oil, soy sauce, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the water you could follow this main course with the Watermelon-Peach Slushies as a dessert.
Instructions
Make several shallow slashes in the skinless side of the salmon fillets.
Place fillets skin-side down in a glass baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, pepper, onion and sesame oil.
Pour the liquid over the salmon, cover, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, and dill weed. Cover pan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook 20 minutes, until rice is tender and water has been absorbed. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before removing lid and fluffing rice with a fork.
Remove cover from salmon, and bake the fish and the marinade for about 30 minutes, or until fish can be flaked with a fork.
Serve salmon over the rice, and pour sauce over.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Salmon. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. You could try Antica Chardonnay (Mountain Select). Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 29 dollars per bottle.
