Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring that each fillet is evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for stronger flavor).

Step 4

Preheat your grill, oven, or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.

Step 5

If baking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 6

Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and place them on the preheated grill, skillet, or baking sheet.

Step 7

Cook the salmon for 4-6 minutes per side (or 10-12 minutes total if baking), depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

While the salmon cooks, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a low simmer over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly and use as a glaze for the salmon.

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the salmon fillets to serving plates. Brush them with the cooked glaze for added flavor.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice and vegetables.
