Ingredients

  • ¼ cup soy sauce reduced sodium or tamari if gluten free
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons ginger grated or minced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic grated or minced
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1.5 pounds salmon or 5 individual salmon fillets, center-cut
Optional garnishes:
  • sesame seeds scallions sliced
  • scallions scallions sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. To make the marinade, mix the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil together in a bowl.
  3. Place the salmon in a large baking dish. Pour about half of the marinade over the salmon. Marinate 10-15 minutes while the oven is preheating.
  4. Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and heat on the stove until simmering. Simmer for a few minutes, stirring often, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Place the salmon in the oven and bake 10-15 minutes until cooked to desired doneness. At the end, turn the broiler on and broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
  6. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Pour the reserved sauce over the salmon. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions, if desired.

Notes

  • For a little spice, you can add red pepper flakes, sriracha or chili garlic paste to the sauce.
  • You can cut the salmon into individual pieces or serve it as one large piece. Serving it as one large piece makes a nice presentation for dinner parties. 
  • Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can enjoy the leftover salmon cold or heated up in dishes like salads, sandwiches or a healthy salmon bowl.
