Asian salad with cod liver is a vibrant embodiment of the flavor harmony of Pan-Asian cuisine. Its origin is inspired by traditional Asian combinations of fresh herbs, spicy spices, and tangy sauces. The dish is based on tender cod liver that pairs perfectly with airy rice, aromatic spinach, and refreshing mint. The dressing made from lime, soy and fish sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar adds a rich flavor with a slight acidity and spicy notes of chili. This salad not only delights the taste buds but also serves as a healthy source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins. It can be served as a standalone dish or as part of an exquisite Asian menu alongside light appetizers or seafood.
