Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 0.25 cups soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pieces green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the fillets are evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag.

Step 3

Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours, to avoid overpowering the fish.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) or set a grill to medium heat.

Step 5

Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off, and place the fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet if baking or directly on the grill if grilling. Discard the used marinade.

Step 6

Bake for 12-15 minutes or grill for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Garnish the salmon with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
