Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 chopped green onions
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved and everything is well combined.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Reserve the marinade for later use.

Step 5

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

Step 6

While the salmon is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove it from heat.

Step 7

Once the salmon is cooked, drizzle the reduced marinade over the fillets for added flavor.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve the salmon with lemon wedges on the side and enjoy!
