Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon (minced or grated) fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced for garnish) green onions
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) sesame seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring that each fillet is well-coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
Preheat the broiler on high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly grease the foil with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting the excess drain off, and place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Broil the salmon, 6-8 inches from the heat source, for 6-8 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, baste the salmon with the reserved marinade to enhance flavor and create a caramelized glaze.
Check for doneness by using a fork to see if the salmon flakes easily. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Serve immediately with steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
