Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks (sliced thin) green onions
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, combine grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, fresh lime juice, olive oil, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined to create a flavorful marinade.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush or spoon the marinade generously over the top of each fillet.
Allow the salmon to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to let the flavors soak in.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds (if using) over the top for garnish.
Serve the Roasted Ginger Salmon immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
