Slow Baked Asian Salmon Recipe
Description
This recipe uses a precise combination of honey, soy sauce or coconut aminos, sesame oil, fresh ginger, and garlic to create a flavorful glaze for salmon fillets. The salmon is placed on foil and loosely wrapped to allow gentle heat circulation during baking at 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
The fish slowly cooks for about 40 minutes, which ensures even cooking and tender texture. The glaze penetrates the salmon, imparting a balanced sweet and umami taste. A fork test or thermometer reading of 140 degrees Fahrenheit confirms doneness.
After baking, the salmon is garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions adding textural contrast and fresh notes. This method offers a hands-off approach to cooking salmon that produces moist, flavorful fillets.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb. salmon fillet
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce gluten-free or coco aminos, as needed
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 inch ginger very finely minced, piece
- 1 clove garlic very finely minced
- red chili optional, finely chopped
- sesame seeds for garnish, toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions
- green onion for garnish, toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Lay a piece of aluminum foil that is large enough to wrap the salmon in on a baking sheet. Place the salmon on top.
- In a small bowl mix together the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and garlic. Pour the glaze over the salmon and wrap the aluminum foil loosely around the salmon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Another way to check for doneness is to insert an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the salmon. You want the temperature to be 140 degrees fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius).
- Serve the salmon with some sesame seeds and green onions sprinkled over the top.
