Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced (optional for color)
- Fresh lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk until well blended, creating a flavorful marinade.
- Place each salmon fillet on a large piece of foil. Brush generously with the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
- If desired, scatter slices of red bell pepper and sliced green onions around the salmon for added color and flavor.
- Fold the edges of the foil over each fillet to create sealed packets. This will lock in moisture and ensure even cooking.
- Place the foil packets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. For a crispy top, open the foil in the last 2 minutes and broil briefly.
Notes
- Ensure salmon is fully thawed if using frozen fillets for best results.
- Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the fillets.
- Serve immediately with rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
