Ingredients for Baked Oriental Salmon

  • Rice Vinegar
  • Teriyaki Sauce
  • Dark Sesame Oil
  • Chili Oil
  • Salmon Fillet

How to Make Baked Oriental Salmon

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Let the salmon marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, basting once or twice with the pan juices. The salmon is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.
  6. 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

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
