Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 stalks (chopped) green onions
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets onto the prepared baking sheet skin-side down. Use a brush or spoon to generously coat each fillet with the marinade. Reserve a tablespoon of the marinade for later.

Step 4

Let the salmon sit and marinate for 5–10 minutes at room temperature while the oven preheats.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 6

Optional: During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the salmon with the reserved marinade for extra glaze.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your Honey Ginger Salmon!
