Honey-Ginger Baked Salmon
Servings: 4
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.
