Oriental baked salmon

Baked oriental salmon is a recipe that fuses traditional ingredients from Asian cuisine with the freshness and tenderness of salmon, a fish highly valued in various cultures around the world. Its origin dates back to Japanese and Chinese techniques for marinating and preparing fish in quick and flavorful ways, using sauces like teriyaki and aromatic oils that enhance the salmon's natural flavor. In several Latin American countries, this preparation may be known simply as "oriental-style salmon" or "teriyaki salmon," adapting to local ingredients while respecting that essence of umami and slightly spicy flavors that characterize Asian cuisine.

In addition to its popularity in Latin America, this recipe is highly valued in regions with Japanese or Chinese influence, such as Mexico, Peru, and Argentina, where salmon has been incorporated into the daily diet thanks to its nutritional value and versatile flavor. The baking technique facilitates even cooking and maintains the juiciness of the fish, making this dish ideal for a healthy, quick, and flavorful meal.
