Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.

Step 4

Brush the marinade generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring an even coat. Reserve a small amount of marinade for finishing later if desired.

Step 5

Let the salmon marinate for 10 minutes while the oven continues to preheat.

Step 6

Bake the salmon in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and brush with any reserved marinade for extra flavor.

Step 8

Sprinkle the salmon with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for garnish before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Chinese Style Flavorful Salmon hot, paired with steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
