Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons (grated) fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon (crushed) pink peppercorns
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 clove (minced) garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon (freshly ground) black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley

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

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if your fillets have skin.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the grated ginger, crushed pink peppercorns, olive oil, soy sauce, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 4

Brush the marinade generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors while the oven finishes preheating.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork. Cooking times may vary slightly based on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Garnish the salmon with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or jasmine rice for a complete meal.
