  • Author: Ashley

Ingredients

To prepare Honey Soy Glazed Salmon Fillet, you will need the following ingredients:

  • Salmon Fillets: 4 pieces, skin-on or skinless, depending on preference
  • Honey: 1/4 cup
  • Soy Sauce: 1/4 cup, low-sodium recommended
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger: 1 tablespoon, freshly grated
  • Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon
  • Sesame Oil: 1 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper: To taste
  • Green Onions: 2, sliced for garnish
  • Sesame Seeds: 1 tablespoon, toasted for garnish

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create a delicious Honey Soy Glazed Salmon Fillet:

  1. Prepare the Marinade:
    In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, olive oil, sesame oil, and black pepper. Ensure the mixture is well combined.
  2. Marinate the Salmon:
    Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
  3. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  4. Bake the Salmon:
    Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable. Reserve the marinade. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Prepare the Glaze:
    While the salmon is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly.
  6. Glaze the Salmon:
    Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven. Brush the thickened glaze over each fillet, ensuring an even coating.
  7. Garnish and Serve:
    Sprinkle the glazed salmon with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
