Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (thinly sliced, for garnish) green onions
- 1 teaspoon (for garnish, optional) sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the ginger glaze.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush a generous amount of the ginger glaze over each fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
While the salmon is baking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Pour in the remaining ginger glaze and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove the salmon from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Drizzle the thickened glaze over the salmon for extra flavor.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
