Asian Salmon recipe

Easy Asian baked salmon - cooked in paper so it's moist and tender.

Everyone loves getting their own parcel to open at the table! I like to serve it with rice, which soaks up the juices from the Asian salmon beautifully.

Cooking the salmon in this way really helps to ensure it won’t dry out in the oven. The salmon just flakes apart.

You can also try different sauce ingredients if you’re cooking with a particular theme in mind.

Here are some great combinations:

  • Thai paste with a little coconut cream, fish sauce and lime juice
  • Tomato puree, fresh chilies and olives
  • Olive oil, tomatoes, garlic and oregano
