Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
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 mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
Brush the marinade generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring an even coat. Reserve a small amount of marinade for finishing later if desired.
Let the salmon marinate for 10 minutes while the oven continues to preheat.
Bake the salmon in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and brush with any reserved marinade for extra flavor.
Sprinkle the salmon with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish before serving.
Serve the Chinese Style Flavorful Salmon hot, paired with steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
