👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Cut the salmon fillets into large cubes.
- 2
In a bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, honey, ground red pepper, garlic powder, and black pepper. Be careful with the salt as the soy sauce is salty.
- 3
Add the salmon cubes to the sauce and mix well. Cover and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
- 4
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and arrange the salmon pieces with space in between. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped parsley on top.
- 5
Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for about 13-15 minutes, until the salmon is nicely browned.
- 6
For the Bang Bang Sauce, mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth.
- 7
Serve the Basmati rice on a plate. Place the baked salmon next to it, add diced cucumber and carrot. Finally, drizzle the prepared Bang Bang sauce and sprinkle chopped green onion on top.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Marinate salmon for exactly 60 minutes at 4°C—no longer—because the acid in soy sauce (pH 4.8) begins denaturing surface proteins after 90 minutes, causing the exterior to become mushy rather than firm when baked.timing60 minutes at 4°C
- ✓Space salmon cubes 2-3 cm apart on the baking tray to ensure 190°C convection heat reaches all sides evenly; overcrowding reduces surface temperature by 15-20°C due to steam trapping, preventing the Maillard browning reaction needed for crust development.technique2-3 cm spacing, 190°C convection
- ✓Toast sesame seeds separately in a dry pan at 160°C for 2-3 minutes before sprinkling, because raw sesame seeds remain bitter; toasting releases limonene and other volatile compounds that develop nutty, sweet notes.ingredient160°C, 2-3 minutes
- ✓Mix Bang Bang sauce (mayonnaise-based) 30 minutes before serving rather than ahead of time, because the 1:1 ratio of oil to acidic soy sauce causes emulsion breakdown after 2 hours due to electrolyte imbalance, resulting in separated, greasy texture.timing30 minutes before serving, emulsion stable for 2 hours
- ✓Omit additional salt from the marinade—the soy sauce contributes approximately 3-4% sodium by weight, which at the 3 tbsp ratio reaches optimal seasoning (1.2% total salt concentration in the marinade) without risk of over-salting the delicate salmon protein.ingredient1.2% total salt concentration
