How to Make Baked Salmon And Ginger

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with foil.
Place two (6-ounce) salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Evenly spread the ginger-garlic mixture over both salmon fillets.
Squeeze the juice of ½ a lemon over the salmon.
Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro.
Drizzle with an additional teaspoon of olive oil.
Loosely wrap each fillet in foil.
Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon bakes, prepare a simple salad with 2 cups of your favorite leafy greens (spinach, arugula, or watercress), tossed with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar.
Serve the baked salmon over the fresh green salad. Enjoy!
