Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 small spray cooking oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your broiler on high and position the rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
Spray a baking sheet with cooking oil spray and place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet.
Season the salmon lightly with salt and black pepper.
Brush the sesame-soy glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and the salmon is cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
While the salmon broils, chop the green onions finely and set aside.
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Serve immediately alongside steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
