Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon (grated) ginger
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced) green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to create 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. Brush half of the glaze generously over the top of each fillet.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the salmon is almost cooked through (it should flake easily with a fork).
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the remaining glaze and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the thickened glaze over the fillets. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and return the salmon to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze becomes caramelized and sticky.
Remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve the glazed salmon fillets warm with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
