Baked Salmon with Spicy Cucumber Salad
This weeknight meal comes together quickly, as a weeknight meal should, with very little preparation. You bake the whole salmon filet in the oven, then move on to put together a quick, refreshing cucumber salad. You can spice it up by adding more gochugaru or add some of your favorite herbs.

Asya’s Favorite Sushi Bake
Think of a sushi bake like a flavorful sushi roll, layered into a casserole and baked to perfection. Many recipes I’ve seen use the California roll as inspiration, but, for our family’s favorite, we like to roast salmon or Arctic char fillets and flake them up instead of using crab. Sushi rice forms the bottom layer, topped with flaked char mixed with a spicy mayo. On top, we layer furikake, a Japanese spice blend, and a little tamari-based sauce. Scooping the bake onto roasted nori sheets makes the perfect bite and my daughter’s favorite weeknight dinner.
