Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and olive oil. Mix until well blended to create the glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
Brush the glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) when measured in the thickest part.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
