Full Recipe:
4 salmon fillets
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon green onions, chopped (for garnish)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until the sugar dissolves.
Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake the Salmon: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Arrange the marinated salmon fillets on the sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the fillets. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot, ideally with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables.
