Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (thinly sliced, for garnish) green onions
- 1 teaspoon (for garnish, optional) sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the ginger glaze.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush a generous amount of the ginger glaze over each fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 4
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 5
While the salmon is baking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Pour in the remaining ginger glaze and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Drizzle the thickened glaze over the salmon for extra flavor.
Step 7
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
