Ponzu is a citrus and soy-based Japanese sauce that is complex and tangy, making it perfect for vegetables, chicken, and fish. In this recipe, the sauce’s tartness contrasts beautifully with the fattiness of the salmon. A simple side of sesame-flavored peppers and onions served over a bed of fluffy white rice make this dish an easy weeknight dinner that can be thrown together at a moment’s notice.
