Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, and ground ginger until well combined.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets skin-side up for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and sear the skin side for another 2 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer the seared salmon fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.

Step 6

Spoon the honey-soy mixture evenly over each fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 7

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
