Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 stalks scallions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it in the baking dish skin-side down, discarding the used marinade.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
While the salmon cooks, finely slice the scallions and set them aside.
Once the salmon is done baking, garnish with sliced scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.
