Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons, grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 stalks, finely chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon, for garnish sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small mixing bowl, combine grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
Brush the marinade generously over each salmon fillet, ensuring it's well-coated. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the marinade for later use.
Let the salmon marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes while the oven continues preheating.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the salmon from the oven. Brush the reserved marinade over the hot fillets for an extra burst of flavor.
Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the salmon for garnish before serving.
Serve warm with steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
