I recently discovered ponzu just by happenstance when I saw it on the shelf in the Asian section of my grocery store. I had never heard of it so I picked up the bottle to read what it was. I ended up bringing a bottle home to try and really, really love it. Ponzu is a combination of soy sauce and citrus and is much lighter than soy sauce. It’s just the perfect blend of citrus flavor and the light saltiness of soy. It’s pale in color. I used it recently in a salmon recipe and was really thrilled with the result. It’s also great as a dipping sauce for sushi for something different. I’m going to use it with chicken next. It brings a really great fresh pop of flavor to anything you use it in. This is definitely one of my newest favorite finds!

I made this great little salmon dish (and promptly forgot to take a photo). It’s made with lemon olive oil (buy it in the oil section of your grocery store) and ponzu, a citrus soy sauce you can find in the Asian section of your grocery store. It was light, citrusy, delicious and super quick for a weeknight dinner.

2 6 ounce salmon fillets

1 1/2 cups chopped Napa cabbage

salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon Ponzu

1 tablespoon lemon olive oil

Place the salmon fillets side by side on the parchment. Pile the cabbage on top. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle oil and ponzu over it. Fold the packet (see Technique page on this blog) and bake at 400 for 20 minutes.
