Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, grated fresh ginger, salt, and pepper.
Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish and drizzle the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is coated evenly.
Let the salmon marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
In the last few minutes of baking, heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining marinade to the saucepan and bring it to a simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the thickened glaze over each fillet. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve the high protein honey garlic glazed salmon warm, with your choice of sides like steamed vegetables or brown rice.
