Crispy Salmon Bowl w Hot Honey Soy Vinaigrette
Beautiful, bright flavors with minimal effort and maximum taste.
I love salmon. Raw, baked, grilled, seared, no matter how you make it, I enjoy it. A good piece of salmon takes on whatever flavors you cook it with, but it has its own mild flavor as well. This beautiful, fatty fish is packed with nutrients and is the perfect protein for any meal.
This particular recipe is all about texture. And texture is important when discussing cooking techniques. Eating is about so much more than flavor. The experience overall involves smell, taste, feel and even visuals. Ever heard you eat with your eyes? Well, it’s the truth.
But back to my point, this bad boy is about texture. Creating that nice, crispy crust on the exterior but keeping the inside soft makes for a wonderful bite. It is the perfect combination. On top of that, the sweet of the honey with the saltiness of the fish just highlights the flavors of this dish.
This is a great recipe to practice flavor pairings as well. The more you can learn about what ingredients complement each other, the more you can experiment with some of your classic recipes. That’s where greatness is born.
If you have a simple go-to recipe you make often, try using what you’ve learned here to improve upon it. Add a little something here or a little something there and see if you don’t come up with something amazing.
And yes, you get all of that knowledge just from cooking this simple, delicious crispy salmon bowl.
You’re welcome.
