Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 whole lemon
- to taste salt and black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, and the juice of half a lemon. Mix well to create a marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops generously with the marinade. Allow them to sit for 10 minutes while preparing the crust.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves and fresh ginger. Thinly slice the green onions, setting aside the green tops for garnish.
In a medium bowl, mix together the minced garlic, ginger, sliced green onions, and panko breadcrumbs. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and stir until the mixture is evenly coated.
Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the tops of the marinated salmon fillets, pressing gently to create a crust.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and squeeze the remaining lemon half over the fillets for a fresh burst of flavor.
Garnish with the reserved green onion tops and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
