Author Notes
It doesn’t seem to go together. Asian flavors such as soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil, with fish. But it’s a winner because salmon is a full flavored fish and can handle these bold marinade ingredients. This dish is not barbequed in the traditional way on the grill either. The addition of brown sugar gives the fish a barbequed glaze and the secret is to cook it in a hot, dry pan with no added oil or butter. No added fat and full of flavor score one for the home cook! —secretsofahomecook
