  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions

  • 2
    Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with fork.
  • 3
    Meanwhile, in food processor, place mayonnaise, cilantro, garlic, gingerroot, wasabi powder, lime juice, sugar and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover; process with on-and-off pulses until cilantro is finely chopped.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Toss some mixed spring greens with oil and rice vinegar for a fresh and easy salad to serve alongside the salmon.
  • tip 2
    For a very mild wasabi sauce, add just 1/4 teaspoon of wasabi powder.
  • tip 3
    If you’re not a fan of cilantro, substitute Italian (flat-leaf) parsley.
