Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and lemon juice. Mix well to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour about two-thirds of the marinade over the fillets, reserving the rest. Ensure the fillets are evenly coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Discard the used marinade.
Drizzle olive oil over the fillets and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon bakes, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and brush the thickened sauce over the fillets.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
