Here is a simple salmon recipe that is perfect to whip up and throw into the oven on a busy weeknight: Honey-Ginger Baked Salmon. The perfect protein to make and serve however you prefer!
Beautiful, center-cut salmon is drizzled with an Asian-inspired honey-ginger sauce and baked until it is cooked through and flakey. I love serving this with my Stir-Fried Szechuan String Beans with Shiitake Mushrooms and steamed white rice for a complete meal; however, it really pairs nicely with most veggies and salads!
This is a great way to quickly prepare salmon with little effort. Simple season and marinade then pop into the oven while you get the rest of your meal prepared. Plus, minimal clean up which is always a win!
I hope you enjoy this salmon as much as my family does!

Seared Salmon with Lemon-Chive Beurre Blanc
Easy Lemon Thyme Roasted Salmon
Honey-Ginger Baked Salmon
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds center-cut salmon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced, white parts only
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
For Serving:
- Thinly sliced scallions green parts only
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉ and place the salmon in an oven safe baking dish (I use a 2½ quart oval roaster).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, coconut aminos, vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, and sesame oil until well combined.
- Pour the sauce over the salmon. Sprinkle the top with scallions, salt, and pepper.
- Transfer to the oven and bake the salmon for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, carefully baste the salmon with the sauce. Continue cooking until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 more minutes.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, spoon the sauce again over the top of the salmon and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and scallions, if desired.

We all loved this – including my 6yo and my husband who is pretty picky about his salmon and doesn’t typically love things that lean toward sweet. We made some rice and roasted some fresh corn. Topped the rice with some extra coconut aminos. I think next time I might make a little extra sauce as there wasn’t much to spoon out of the dish at the end of cooking and it was delicious. This is definitely going into our regular rotation.
This is so delicious and so easy! Great instructions on how to make it. Yum!!!!
Yay! Thanks Janet!
This was a great easy weeknight dinner. Even the kids enjoyed it. I will definitely make this again.
