Description
A quick and nutritious dish featuring delicious salmon fillets marinated in a sweet honey garlic sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and grated ginger (if using).
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Let it marinate for 15-30 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Transfer the marinated salmon to a baking dish, skin-side down, and pour any leftover marinade over the fillets. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
Serve with jasmine rice and steamed broccoli for a complete meal. Consider adding lemon slices for freshness.
