Thai Salmon
2 servings
20 minutes
Thai-style salmon is a vibrant dish that embodies a refined blend of seafood freshness and exotic notes of Thai cuisine. Tender pieces of salmon are first seared to a golden crust and then baked to retain their juiciness. A rich palette of vegetables, including bell peppers, mangoes, and zucchini, provides the dish with a balance of freshness and crunchiness. Thai sauce, spices, and lime add a rich, slightly spicy, and tangy flavor. As a result, it becomes a centerpiece for any dinner, offering the warmth of Eastern cuisine and awakening gastronomic senses. It can be served as a standalone dish or paired with rice for a complete harmonious dinner.
