Easy Sesame Ginger Salmon Recipe for a Delicious Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 fillets salmon (skinless and boneless)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 stalks green onions (sliced, for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, grated ginger, honey, and minced garlic.

    Taste the marinade to adjust sweetness or saltiness if necessary.
  3. Marinate the Salmon

    Place salmon fillets in a dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    For best flavor, marinate for up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  4. Bake the Salmon

    Arrange the marinated salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

    Check for doneness; salmon should flake easily with a fork.
  5. Garnish and Serve

    Remove the salmon from the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

    Serve with rice or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
