A super easy and flavorful salmon dish chockfull of heart-healthy protein, vitamin A and omega-3 fatty acids!

Ingredients (Note: I used half the ingredients as I used 2 salmon filets.)

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 tablespoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 cloves garlic, pressed

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

4 green onions, thinly sliced

4 salmon filets

For the Honey Ginger Glaze (I did not use the glaze. The salmon tasted delicious without it.)

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon Sriracha, or more, to taste

1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

To make the glaze, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, ginger and sesame seeds in a small bowl; set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds and green onions.

In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine ginger marinade and salmon filets; marinate for at least 30 minutes to overnight, turning the bag occasionally.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.

Place salmon filets along with the marinade onto prepared baking dish and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.

Serve salmon immediately with honey ginger glaze.
