Soy Sauce Salmon

Are you planning a get together and looking for a simple and easy recipe to make for the party? Check out this Soy Sauce Salmon dish that serves well on a bed of steamed rice.

Special thank you to my boyfriend’s sister in-law who shared with me this simple and easy yet delicious Soy Sauce Salmon recipe. The last time I host a Birthday Party for my 2 year old little Prince/Nephew with family and friends at my party room, we made this dish with a pot of steam rice and some side dishes like Pan-Fried Asparagus, Sautéed mushroom.

Where to buy Salmon?

• Costco is the place where you can get a bigger piece of salmon for a cheaper price. We spent less than $40 to get the salmon. If you are having a bigger group at the gathering, this will feed around 10-15 people people.
• Longo’s is another grocery store that you can get fresh salmon. But the price here is a little more expensive compared to Costco. If you are lucky, Longo’s sometimes have a sale and you can get a piece of salmon for a cheaper price.
• Metro is another grocery store where you can get a smaller piece of salmon if you are only cooking for 2-4 people.

Tips:

How to prepare Salmon Fillet?

• Rinse the salmon fillet
• Sometimes salmon fillet has bones in it. Slide your hands along the surface of the salmon and if there is bone, it will stick you. You just pull the bone out of the salmon.
• Remove the scales if there is any on the salmon.

To bake a smaller piece of Salmon Fillet:

• I use an infrared Toaster Oven instead of the big oven. This will save some energy.

Baking Tips:

• Line the baking sheet with either aluminum foil or parchment paper.

For a perfect pot of steamed rice, I use Tiger Rice Cooker.
