There are many recipes to cook salmon, yet this one recipe is my favorite of all. The fresh salmon fillets are well marinated with homemade umami sauce, then grilled to perfection. Furthermore, feel the refreshing lemon juice to reduce the salty taste of fish and upgrade the dish flavor into the best combination.
In my household, we love to enjoy it with warm rice. But feel free to enjoy other dishes to accompany dinner time with family and friends.
