Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely grate the fresh ginger and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and pour the marinade evenly over the fish. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to soak in.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, slice the green onions thinly and toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant.
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and garnish with the sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or your favorite salad.
