Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 whole lemon
• 0 to taste salt and black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, and the juice of half a lemon. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops generously with the marinade. Allow them to sit for 10 minutes while preparing the crust.

Step 5

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves and fresh ginger. Thinly slice the green onions, setting aside the green tops for garnish.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, mix together the minced garlic, ginger, sliced green onions, and panko breadcrumbs. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and stir until the mixture is evenly coated.

Step 7

Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the tops of the marinated salmon fillets, pressing gently to create a crust.

Step 8

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the salmon from the oven and squeeze the remaining lemon half over the fillets for a fresh burst of flavor.

Step 10

Garnish with the reserved green onion tops and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
