Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 stalks Green onions (optional garnish)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to create the marinade.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down if the skin is on.
Pour the marinade evenly over the salmon fillets, gently lifting them to ensure the marinade gets underneath as well. Let them rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Serve warm with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
