Baked Salmon with the Best Marinade
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, and sesame oil until well combined.
3. Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for more flavor.
5. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
6. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired.
7. Serve with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice, and enjoy!
