Ingredients
- 1 large skinless salmon filet or 4 5-ounce salmon filets
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 ½ tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tablespoons fresh ginger freshly grated
- 4 green onions thinly sliced
- sesame seeds
Honey Ginger Glaze
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger freshly grated
Instructions
- In a large bowl or baking dish, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, sesame oil, low sodium soy sauce, garlic, fresh ginger, white wine vinegar, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Place the salmon in the dish or transfer everything to a ziplock bag, then refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, flipping the filets occasionally to ensure even coating.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly coat a 9x13 - 11X17 size baking dish with nonstick spray. Place the salmon filets along with the marinade onto the prepared dish and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
- To prepare the glaze, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, and ginger in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Brush the honey ginger glaze over each filet, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve the salmon immediately.
