A simple recipe for baked salmon coated in a balanced honey and soy glaze, suitable for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper to create the glaze.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush the vegetable oil lightly over the fillets.
  4. Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet. Brush half of the glaze mixture evenly over the tops of the fillets.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes.
  6. Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the fillets.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is sticky and slightly caramelized.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the salmon before serving.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, simmer the leftover marinade in a small saucepan until reduced before brushing it on for the final coating.
  • This recipe pairs well with steamed rice and broccoli.
