Feeling bored with basic salmon? Toss that lemon and dill nonsense aside. We’re going full flavor dragon mode—fiery, citrusy, sweet, and just a little unexpected. Our Dragons Twilight rub (Orange Ginger Wasabi) turns everyday fish into an absolute beast of a meal.
This is not your grandma’s salmon. Unless she was secretly a sushi chef with a wild streak.
Bold, balanced, and slightly unhinged in the best way possible, this recipe pairs the sweet sting of brown sugar with the tang of soy and the slow-building ka-pow of wasabi. Dinner in 15? More like dinner to remember.
🐟 Dragons Twilight Glazed Salmon Recipe
Feeds: 4 Flavor Adventurers
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Cook Temp: Medium-High Heat (Skillet)
🧂 Provisions (a.k.a. Ingredients):
-
4 salmon fillets (skin removed, about 6 oz. each)
-
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
-
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
-
1 tsp sesame oil
-
2 tbsp Flavor Expedition Co. Dragons Twilight seasoning
-
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
-
2 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
-
1 tsp sesame seeds (toasted if you’re feeling fancy)
-
Optional: cooked jasmine rice or noodles, for serving
🔥 The Expedition (a.k.a. Instructions):
-
Mix the Magic: In a shallow dish or zip-top bag, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and Dragons Twilight. Place the salmon in the marinade and let it soak up the flavor for 3 minutes. Flip fillets and marinate another 3 minutes. (No need to over-marinate—this rub means business.)
-
Sear & Sizzle: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add salmon and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Remove from skillet and tent loosely with foil.
-
Make It Saucy: Pour the leftover marinade into the same skillet. Add rice vinegar and stir continuously for about 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened and glossy.
-
Finish Strong: Drizzle that spicy-sweet glaze over the cooked salmon. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately over rice or noodles, spooning extra sauce on top like a flavor boss.
🧑🍳 Chef’s Notes:
-
Want a citrus twist? Add a splash of orange juice to the marinade.
-
Grilling instead of pan-searing? Brush with glaze near the end of cook time and prepare for applause.
