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.

To find out how to make them, see our basic recipe for Creamy Mashed Potatoes and check the flavor variations for the wasabi version.
