Unique flavors augment delicate salmon in a dish sure to become a quick-and-easy favorite. Ginger, a pungent flavor with notes of woodiness, is mixed with ponzu sauce, a tart Japanese favorite. Together, they are a powerhouse with the fish, and feel free to mix the tangy-goodness with the jasmine rice. Put it on everything: your steaks, your cereal, your morning coffee… we won't judge! Tip: Make quick work of mincing garlic by smashing the whole clove with the side of your chef's knife. Then rock the knife back and forth, keeping the tip steady by resting your other hand over the top.
