Ingredients
Salmon and Marinade
- 1 pound fresh salmon, cut into 2 pieces
- 1 1/2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
Asian Sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon sriracha
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Marinate the Salmon: Pat dry the salmon pieces to remove excess moisture. Place them in a bowl and add 1 1/2 tablespoons of reduced sodium soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of minced ginger. Mix gently to coat all sides and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and allow it to fully preheat while the salmon is marinating.
- Bake the Salmon: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Place the marinated salmon pieces on the pan, ensuring they are spaced evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for at least 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Prepare the Asian Sauce: While the salmon is baking, mix together 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon sriracha, and 1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.
- Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and place it over a bed of cooked rice. Drizzle a small amount of the prepared Asian sauce over the salmon. Serve immediately to enjoy the flavors at their best.
Notes
- Marinate salmon for longer than 15 minutes for a more intense flavor, up to 1 hour.
- If you prefer spicier, increase the sriracha amount in the sauce.
- For gluten-free preparation, ensure soy sauce and hoisin sauce are certified gluten-free.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on salmon thickness.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
