Instructions
- 1.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Time: 5 min - 2.
Prepare the BBQ glaze: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and smoked paprika. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Time: 7 min - 3.
Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with the BBQ glaze.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baste with remaining glaze halfway through cooking.
Time: 15 min - 5.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the wasabi mashed potatoes: Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Time: 15 min - 6.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 3 tbsp butter and mash until smooth.
Time: 3 min - 7.
Gradually add milk until desired consistency is reached. Stir in wasabi paste and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Time: 5 min - 8.
To serve, place a scoop of wasabi mashed potatoes on each plate. Top with a BBQ glazed salmon fillet. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
