Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by gathering all items listed above.
- Whisk together soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil in a bowl until well combined to create the marinade.
- Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Let sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb flavors.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place marinated salmon skin-side down on it.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top before serving and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, sear the salmon skin-side down in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes before baking.
- Experiment with different marinades like teriyaki for a unique twist.
