How to Make Baked Oriental Salmon
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
- Place the salmon fillets (about 1.5 lbs) in a glass baking dish. Pour the marinade evenly over the fillets, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Let the salmon marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, basting once or twice with the pan juices. The salmon is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions (optional) before serving. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice or steamed vegetables.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
