Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g salmon fillet
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 scallions, sliced (optional for garnish)
- 4 lemon wedges (optional for serving)
- 8 wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning in the oven.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Cut the salmon fillet into 2-inch cubes and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
Add the salmon cubes to the marinade, tossing gently to coat. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
Thread the marinated salmon cubes onto the soaked skewers, dividing them evenly.
Place the salmon skewers on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over the salmon cubes.
Roast the salmon skewers in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Rotate halfway through cooking for even roasting.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the oven and let them rest for a minute or two.
Garnish with sliced scallions and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
