Ingredients

  • 1 large fillet (~1 lb) Salmon
  • 1/2 cup Soyaki
  • 1 tbsp Everything But The Bagel Seasoning (Trader Joe’s)
  • 16-20 spears Asparagus
  • 20 oz (2 bags) Rice (Trader Joe’s microwave Jasmine rice)
  • Optional:
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Lemon pepper seasoning
  • 2 tbsp Butter

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 425° and prep an 8 x 8 glass pan.
  2. 2Cut your fillet into two pieces and place both in the prepared pan. Pour Soyaki sauce over the salmon and sprinkle generously with Everything But The Bagel seasoning.
  3. 3Place in the oven for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature is 145°.
  4. 4While that’s cooking, place the asparagus on a greased baking sheet. Here is where you can add extra ingredients or keep it simple and just spritz it with cooking oil. I chose to melt 1 tbsp of butter (reserving 1 tbsp for the rice), brush it on the asparagus, add 1/4 tsp of salt (reserving the other 1/4 tsp for the rice) and 1/2 tsp of lemon pepper seasoning.
  5. 5When the salmon has 12 minutes left of cooking, put the asparagus into the oven. That way it’ll be done at the same time.
  6. 6With 3-4 minutes left, stick your rice in the microwave and let that cook. When it’s done, mix in the remaining 1 tbsp of butter and 1/4 tsp of salt.
  7. 7Now your salmon and asparagus should also be done. Plate your rice, spoon some of the Soyaki sauce from the salmon over it, place a salmon fillet on top, and serve the asparagus on the side.

Why Salmon Is the Weeknight Fish That Actually Works

Fifteen minutes, a hot oven, and a lemon — salmon is one of the few proteins that goes from fridge to fork faster than takeout arrives.

Cooks on Pepper buy the biggest filet they can find, portion it into four dinners, and freeze what they won't cook by Tuesday — cheaper than filet-by-filet and always ready.

The recipes here are the community's most-cooked salmon dinners — the ones that made salmon a weekly staple instead of a special-occasion protein.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Buy the whole side

    A full side portions into four to six dinners cheaper than filets — freeze whatever won't cook in three days.

  2. 2

    Sear skin down first

    Cold pan, oil, salmon skin down, then turn on the heat — the skin releases and crisps without sticking.

  3. 3

    Pull at 125°F

    Salmon carries over — pull three degrees shy and it lands perfect medium on the plate.

  4. 4

    Season simply

    Salt, olive oil, and lemon does more for fresh salmon than any glaze — save the sauces for less-fresh fish.
