This glazed sesame salmon is another one of those simple salmon dishes that I love to make using easy-to-find ingredients. This dish has a nice Asian-style taste from the chili garlic sauce, soy sauce and rice wine. I love that this dish is baked and healthy.
After marinating the salmon, the fillets were baked until fully cooked. It came out so moist and flaky and the sesame seeds add a nice taste and texture to the salmon. Pair these salmon fillets with rice, salad or steamed vegetables!
