Asian flavours add a new element of boldness and make salmon seem very sophisticated. Some flavours that go very well together and go very well with salmon and its fishy taste are Soy Sauce and ginger. These two flavours work in perfect harmony to make your mouth melt whenever you take a bite of this soy ginger baked salmon dish.
Not only does this dish taste exquisite, but you can also use slightly “expired” foods to execute it (such as lemon, garlic, ginger, etc.), but do not use rotten fish (this can pose a huge health hazard)! So, without further ado, let’s get on with the dish.
