Oven Honey-Garlic Salmon

Steps

1. 1.

   1.

   Heat The Oven** Heat the oven to 200°C / 400°F. Line a small baking tray with foil or parchment for easier cleanup. Lightly oil the surface.

2. 2.

   Mix The Glaze

   In a bowl, stir honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, oil, pepper, and a small pinch of salt. Taste; it should be sweet-salty with a garlic kick.

3. 3.

   Sauce The Salmon

   Pat the salmon dry. Place on the tray. Spoon most of the glaze over the fillets, saving a little for the end. Let them sit 5 minutes while the oven finishes heating.

4. 4.

   Bake

   Bake 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness. The fish should flake easily and look opaque with a slightly glossy top. If you want more color, switch to grill/broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes and watch closely.

5. 5.

   Finish With Reserved Glaze

   Warm the reserved glaze briefly in a small pan or microwave and spoon over the hot salmon. Scatter spring onions and sesame seeds.

6. 6.

   Rest And Serve

   Rest 2 minutes on the tray. Serve with lemon wedges and whatever sides you like: rice, steamed greens, or roasted potatoes make it a full main.
