You can find many reasons to love this soy ginger glaze. It brings together several Asian ingredients making a sauce that pairs as well with a side of rice (or riced cauliflower if you’d prefer) as well as butternut squash or sweet potatoes. The real star in this dish is the sliced California Figs—they soak up all the flavor of the sauce, baked onto the soy glazed salmon and then spooned on afterwards. Plus, the salmon is ready in 20 minutes, making it the kind of main dish that’s the kind of weeknight quick dish you can’t help but crave regularly.
