Equipment
Ingredients
- ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce or tamari (if gluten free)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons grated or minced ginger
- 2 teaspoons grated or minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1.5 pounds center-cut salmon (or 5 individual salmon fillets)
Optional garnishes:
- sesame seeds, sliced scallions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- To make the marinade, mix the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil together in a bowl.
- Place the salmon in a large baking dish. Pour about half of the marinade over the salmon. Marinate 10-15 minutes while the oven is preheating.
- Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and heat on the stove until simmering. Simmer for a few minutes, stirring often, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place the salmon in the oven and bake 10-15 minutes until cooked to desired doneness. At the end, turn the broiler on and broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven. Pour the reserved sauce over the salmon. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions, if desired.
Notes
- For a little spice, you can add red pepper flakes, sriracha or chili garlic paste to the sauce.
- You can cut the salmon into individual pieces or serve it as one large piece. Serving it as one large piece makes a nice presentation for dinner parties.
- Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can enjoy the leftover salmon cold or heated up in dishes like salads, sandwiches or a healthy salmon bowl.
