Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 stalks (chopped, for garnish) green onions
• 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper to form the marinade.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure all fillets are evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes) in the refrigerator.

Step 4

Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Discard the excess marinade.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Note: Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 6

Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately with steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
