This delicious Asian Salmon bakes in the oven. Remember to cook this on a foil-lined rimmed baking tray because the sauce caramelizes and sticks to the pan while it bakes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Place salmon onto the prepared aluminum foil lined pan. Run your finger along the fillet, pressing gently. Remove any stray bones you find with a pair of tweezers or clean needle nose pliers.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, garlic, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and, salt (optional), ground black pepper and ginger.
Pour the mixture over the salmon and use the back of a spoon or a pastry brush to evenly coat the fish.
Place into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Remove the fish from the oven and baste it with the marinade from around the edges of the pan. Then broil the fillet for about 3-5 minutes to caramelize the marinade.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve hot.
Notes
If you are short on time, you can purchase a prepared Asian style ginger vinaigrette salad dressing on the salad dressing aisle of the supermarket. These dressings have many of the same flavors found in our homemade version but without the preparation time or need to buy multiple ingredients.
