Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon, grated Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, thinly sliced (for garnish) Green onions
- 1 teaspoon, toasted (optional garnish) Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the glaze.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pat dry with paper towels.
Brush the glaze generously over the top and sides of each salmon fillet, reserving a small amount for later.
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).
Remove the salmon from the oven and brush with the remaining glaze for added flavor and shine.
Transfer the salmon to serving plates and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
