Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade: zest and juice one lemon, grate the fresh ginger (about 2 tablespoons), and mince the garlic cloves. Combine these with the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to create a smooth marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and pour the marinade evenly over each piece, making sure the top of the salmon is well coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for 10-15 minutes while the oven preheats.
Slice the second lemon into thin rounds and place a couple of slices on top of each salmon fillet for added flavor and presentation.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Lemon Ginger Salmon with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a crisp green salad.
