Baked Salmon With Ginger And Soy Sauce
I usually make this dish for dinner every Friday; my family and I adore it. This baked honey glazed salmon is so tender and delicious also it is super tasty especially if you marinate it for a couple of hours. Don't like marinating or don't have time for it, don't worry, it will still be super delicious without marinating as well.
For me, cooking salmon in the oven is the best way to have an easy dinner. All you need to do is combine all the marinade ingredients then toss the salmon fillet in the sauce and marinate for a couple of hours then bake, and the best oven-baked salmon will be ready in just 10-15 minutes.

Ingredients
“See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.”

- Sesame oil: It adds a delicious nutty flavor to your dish.
- Soy sauce: It adds amazing flavor.
- Garlic: I use fresh garlic.
- Ginger: I prefer fresh ginger, it adds a spicy flavor.

- Salt & Ground black pepper: To taste.
How To Make Baked Salmon With Ginger And Soy Sauce
One - Prepare the salmon: Rinse the salmon then pat it dry with a kitchen towel (photo 1).
Two - Make the marinade: In a medium bowl, add the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, ginger, salt and pepper, stir until well combined (photo 2).
Three - Marinate the salmon: Toss the salmon in the bowl and leave it to marinate for 2-3 hours (if you have time for it) (photo 3 & 4).
Four - Bake: Place salmon fillets in a single layer, skin side down in a baking pan and bake at 200C/392F for 15 minutes (photo 5).
