Soy Ginger Baked Salmon
Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) center-cut salmon fillets
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
- 1/3 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
- 3 tbsp Honey or Pure Maple Syrup
- 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger, finely grated
- 3 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
- 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds (for garnish)
- 2 Scallions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Bring salmon to room temperature for 20-30 minutes. Pat completely dry and season with kosher salt.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar.
- Place salmon in the baking dish. Pour two-thirds of the marinade over the fillets, reserving the rest. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until mostly opaque.
- Switch oven to a high broil. Brush reserved marinade over the salmon.
- Broil for 1-3 minutes until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with sesame seeds and scallions before serving.
Notes
For the best glaze, don't skip the final 1-2 minutes under the broiler, but watch it carefully as the honey can burn quickly.
