Want Less Dishes? Try This One-pan Shoyu Garlic Glazed Salmon Dinner
Aloha! Today I'll be sharing how to create one of my favorite dishes: a One-pan Shoyu Garlic Glazed Salmon Dinner. It doesn't require many ingredients or kitchen tools.
With growing up on the islands and coming from a fisherman's family, eating fish was a routine part of my life. Since moving to the mainland for college (and being landlocked while doing so), I found it was much harder for me to indulge in what I call one of my personal delicacies. Not too long after, I quickly found the dish that satisfied my cravings of anything related to a poke bowl or sushi: Salmon. Now, while I don't remember eating much salmon growing up, it somehow became the backbone of my diet very quickly.
Salmon has so many great benefits, like having high omega-3 fatty acid content, which can lower your risk for disease! When cooked properly, the fish has a mild flavor that's buttery and soft. Made countless times by myself over the past few years, this meal can be made with common ingredients you might have laying around.
The best part about this meal is that a majority of your cooking only uses a singular baking sheet! Not only does it allow you to clean up while your items are in the oven, but allows an even easier cleanup after your meal, only needing to toss away the aluminum foil and giving your utensils a good scrub!
For non-food items in this One-pan Shoyu Garlic Glazed Salmon Dinner, you will need:
- A rice maker, or a deep saucepan with a lid
- A baking sheet
- Aluminum foil (for even less mess)
- A bowl
- A cutting board
- A spoon or something to mix with
Optional: A splash of honey (for the glaze), 1/4th of an avocado, and chopped green onions for a side and garnish.
