Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, grated fresh ginger, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish and drizzle the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is coated evenly.

Step 4

Let the salmon marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

In the last few minutes of baking, heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining marinade to the saucepan and bring it to a simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the thickened glaze over each fillet. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Step 8

Serve the high protein honey garlic glazed salmon warm, with your choice of sides like steamed vegetables or brown rice.
