Description
A delicious and easy-to-make honey-glazed salmon dish with a flavorful garlic soy sauce, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Ingredients
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, grated ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and reserve the marinade for later use. If grilling, place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. If baking, place the salmon on a lined baking sheet.
- Grill or bake the salmon for about 10-12 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Brush the reserved marinade over the salmon halfway through cooking for extra flavor.
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, try adding a few drops of liquid smoke to the marinade.
- Serve the salmon over a bed of steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal. Add steamed vegetables for extra nutrition.
