Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces (170g) each
- 1/3 cup (80ml) reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup (113g) honey
- 1 Tablespoon (15ml) sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon peeled minced fresh ginger
- chopped green onion and sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate: Place salmon fillets in a zippered bag or dish, pour half of the whisked soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger mixture over them, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to 4 hours.
- Prepare: Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C) and line a baking sheet with foil, parchment paper, or a silicone mat.
- Bake: Place salmon on the baking sheet skin side down and bake for 15–20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Reduce Glaze: Simmer the remaining marinade in a small saucepan over medium-high, then medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Serve: Drizzle the thickened glaze over the baked salmon and serve with optional garnish.
Notes
Marinate salmon up to 4 hours in advance. Can be substituted with boneless chicken breasts or thighs; increase bake time and marinate for 1 hour.
