Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 salmon fillets
Sweeteners:
- ½ cup brown sugar
Sauces and Seasonings:
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions
Instructions
- Warm your oven precisely to 400F, preparing a welcoming environment for your salmon’s transformation.
- Whisk together ½ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger into a glossy marinade.
- Arrange 4 salmon fillets in a clean baking dish, positioning them with gentle care.
- Cascade the entire marinade over your salmon, ensuring each fillet gets a thorough, glistening coating.
- Slide the baking dish into the 400F oven, allowing the salmon to cook for exactly 15-20 minutes until its center reaches perfect doneness.
- Remove the salmon and immediately shower 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and 2 chopped green onions across the surface for a fresh, crunchy finish.
Notes
- Salmon thickness matters, so choose fillets around 1-inch thick for consistent cooking and best flavor absorption.
- Marinate the salmon for 15-30 minutes before baking to enhance the depth of the brown sugar and soy sauce combination.
- Line your baking dish with parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent the salmon from sticking.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos to maintain the same rich, savory profile.
