Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, and ground ginger until well combined.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets skin-side up for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and sear the skin side for another 2 minutes.
Transfer the seared salmon fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
Spoon the honey-soy mixture evenly over each fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
