Remember those hilarious Budweiser commercials with the dude saying, “WAAASSSABI!!!”
Once you taste this salmon, you’ll slam your fork down and say-
I was browsing through Epicurious lastnight looking for some yum-spiration and put “salmon” into the search engine. When a Wasabi Salmon recipe came up, I turned it into my own with the addition of some ginger and honey. The wasabi lends a nice kick to what could be a boring ol’ salmon filet! You can serve it with some of the leftover wasabi cream if you want some of the dipping delish!
