    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.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • An easy salmon recipe made with honey garlic sauce and will be ready in just 20 minutes.
    • A healthy meal for an easy dinner.
    • A delicious main course that goes well with almost any side dish such as Turmeric Rice, Cajun Rice Dressing or Marmite Pasta.
    • An easy oven baked salmon that is perfect for weeknight dinners.

    Ingredients

    Labeled ingredients on table.

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

    • Salmon filets: I use salmon with skin on. I find the skin to be so crispy after baking. However, you can use skin-off salmon filets if you like.
    • 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.
    • Honey: you may use brown sugar or maple syrup instead.
    • Salt & Ground black pepper: To taste.

    How To Make Baked Salmon With Ginger And Soy Sauce

    Steps of making the recipe.

    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).

    Five - Garnish: I like to garnish with some sesame seeds or chopped green onion, to make the dish looks pleasant. Finally serve and enjoy.

    Top Tips!

    • For a best result, use fresh salmon.
    • You can use any type of salmon you prefer, farmed salmon or wild salmon.
    • Don't overbake; once the internal temperature of your salmon reaches 145 degrees F, it is fully cooked, according to the FDA.
