Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 stalks (chopped) green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 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 bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets onto the prepared baking sheet skin-side down. Use a brush or spoon to generously coat each fillet with the marinade. Reserve a tablespoon of the marinade for later.
Let the salmon sit and marinate for 5–10 minutes at room temperature while the oven preheats.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Optional: During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the salmon with the reserved marinade for extra glaze.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your Honey Ginger Salmon!
