Glazed Sesame Salmon

Salmon fillets, when oven-roasted at a high temperature make for a flavorful, fast and healthy entree.

To make Glazed Sesame Salmon, we simply spoon on a tasty soy sauce and honey-based glaze to give the fish a fabulous, sweet and savory flavor.

A serving of mashed potatoes, spiked with a little wasabi paste (aka Wasabi Mashed Potatoes) are the perfect accompaniment for this dish.
