Asian Salmon

25 minutes

Asian-style salmon is a dish that combines the refined elegance of Chinese cuisine with the rich flavor of seafood. A marinade of Dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic gives the salmon fillet a delightful depth of flavor – both rich and spicy with delicate hints of spices. Grilling or pan-frying creates an appetizing crust while retaining the juiciness of the flesh. This dish is perfect for both festive dinners and light lunches and can be served warm or chilled. Inspired by traditional Chinese cooking techniques, it highlights the harmony of flavors by balancing sweetness, saltiness, and spiciness. Asian-style salmon is a true gastronomic find for seafood lovers and exquisite culinary experiences.

Ingredients

• Salmon fillet: 4 pc
• Dijon mustard: 2 tbsp

• Olive oil: 6 tbsp
• Finely chopped garlic: 0.5 tsp

Cooking steps

1. Place the fish in a flat dish. In a bowl, whisk together mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic. Pour half of the marinade over the fish. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Dijon mustard: 2 tablespoons
   • Soy sauce: 2 tablespoons
   • Olive oil: 6 tablespoons
   • Finely chopped garlic: 0.5 teaspoon
   • Salmon fillet: 4 pieces

2. Preheat the grill or a large skillet. Brush with a thin layer of oil to prevent the fish from sticking. Drain the liquid the fish was marinated in and place the fish on the hot skillet. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the piece.

   Required ingredients:

   • Olive oil: 6 tablespoons

3. Transfer the cooked fish to plates and drizzle with the remaining marinade. Let the fish 'rest' for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
