A total of 8,675 tonnes of salmon were sent to emerging markets in the region in the first ten months of 2012.
The figure beat the overall total achieved for the whole of the previous year.
The data, released by Scottish salmon producers, came from HM Revenue and Customs.
The value of the exports - which include fresh, frozen and smoked products - rose from ?28m between January and October 2011 to more than ?37m for the same period in 2012.
The new figures were revealed one month after representatives of the seafood industry attended the largest ever Scottish food and drink trade mission to Japan and China.
During the visit, an agreement was signed with the World Association of Chefs Societies to promote Scottish salmon and langoustines to its 10 million member chefs across 93 countries.
