Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper until well combined.

      Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish. Pour the honey garlic marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes for the best flavor (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator).

        Bake the Salmon: Once marinated, transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. For a caramelized top, you can broil the salmon for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of the cooking time.

          Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the salmon from the oven. Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.

            Enjoy: Pair the honey garlic salmon with steamed rice or fresh vegetables for an incredibly delicious meal.
