Ingredients
- 4 pieces of salmon
- ¼ cup tamari or soy if not gluten free
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
- 3 garlic cloves chopped
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
Instructions
- Whisk all sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Place salmon in a bowl and pour marinade over. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Place salmon on pan and cook for 15-20 minutes or until salmon flakes easily. (It helps to have equal sized salmon pieces.)
- Put all the marinade in a small pot and bring to a full boil. You must bring it to a boil before eating it since it was used on raw salmon.
- Turn to a simmer and cook until thickened.
- Brush on cooked salmon and serve.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Notes: If you want this to be gluten free, you must use tamari. I went ahead and added the corn starch to the marinade right away. It's a shortcut and it works. I know corn starch is not regularly put in marinades but it helps the sauce thicken when you boil it on the stove.
