Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 teaspoon (minced or grated) fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 stalks (thinly sliced for garnish) green onions
• 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring that each fillet is well-coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat the broiler on high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly grease the foil with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting the excess drain off, and place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the marinade for basting.

Step 5

Broil the salmon, 6-8 inches from the heat source, for 6-8 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, baste the salmon with the reserved marinade to enhance flavor and create a caramelized glaze.

Step 6

Check for doneness by using a fork to see if the salmon flakes easily. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
