Ingredients

• 4 fillets (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons (grated) fresh ginger
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 stalks (sliced thin) green onions
• 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, fresh lime juice, olive oil, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined to create a flavorful marinade.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush or spoon the marinade generously over the top of each fillet.

Step 4

Allow the salmon to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to let the flavors soak in.

Step 5

Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds (if using) over the top for garnish.

Step 7

Serve the Roasted Ginger Salmon immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
