Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets, skin-on
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, lime zest, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and olive oil to make the glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
Generously brush the glaze mixture over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
For an optional finishing touch, switch the oven to broil during the last 2 minutes to give the glaze a caramelized texture. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Garnish the salmon with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice, and enjoy!
