Yuzu Salmon with Buttered Leeks

Looking for a new weeknight recipe? Give this recipe for Yuzu Salmon with Buttered Leeks a try. It’s simple and speedy yet impressively delicious. Skinless salmon filets seasoned with zesty yuzu dressing and oven-baked on a bed of buttery leeks to flaky perfection. Garnish with radish and cilantro tossed with yuzu dressing, and serve.

The flavorful yuzu dressing (recipe included) does double duty in this recipe. First, I use it to season the salmon and then as an irresistible dressing to toss with the radishes and cilantro. Of course, yuzu juice is the star of this dressing. The grapefruit-like flavor of the yuzu fruit adds a wonderful citrus aroma that pairs well with the salmon. The whole dish is prepared and baked in 35 minutes or less.

To make the Yuzu Salmon with Buttered Leeks, you will need the following ingredients:

5	Add salmon	2
Arrange 4 skinless salmon filets on top of the leeks, season with salt and black pepper. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the prepared yuzu dressing. Spoon the remaining dressing over the salmon so that the chili and ginger are on top.
