Description
A delicious honey soy glazed salmon recipe, perfect for a quick and healthy dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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 piece of ginger (very finely minced)
- 1 clove garlic (very finely minced)
- 1 finely chopped red chili (optional)
- For garnish: toasted sesame seeds and 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.
Notes
- Make sure the salmon is fresh for the best flavor.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey as per your taste.
- This dish pairs well with rice or steamed vegetables.
