Ingredients

Sauce
- ⅓ cup soy sauce reduced sodium or regular

Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Place salmon fillets into a large zippered food storage bag or shallow dish. In a medium bowl, whisk soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger together. Pour about half of the mixture over salmon, turning to coat. Seal the bag/cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes and up to 4 hours.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°F (191°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, parchment paper, or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Line the marinated salmon fillets on the baking sheet, skin side down. Bake salmon for 15–20 minutes or until done, which is 10 minutes per inch thickness measured from the thickest part of the fillet. Salmon is considered done when an instant read thermometer reads the center of the thickest part as at least 145°F (63°C).
- Feel free to turn your oven to broil for the last minute to really crisp the edges.
Notes
Feel free to modify the marinade according to your taste preferences. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds for an added touch.
