Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons (grated) Fresh ginger
- 4 stalks (sliced thinly) Green onions
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons (to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (to taste) Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season them on both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together the grated ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Brush each fillet generously with the marinade.
Sprinkle half of the sliced green onions over the salmon fillets, reserving the rest for garnish.
Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon and place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should be 145°F/63°C).
Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven and transfer it to serving plates.
Garnish the salmon with the remaining sliced green onions and serve immediately. Pair with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
