Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup Honey Maple syrup can be used as a substitute.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced; garlic powder can be used if fresh isn't available.
  • 1/4 cup Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce Tamari can replace for a gluten-free option.
  • 2 tablespoons Seasoned Rice Vinegar Apple cider vinegar serves as a milder alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Neutral oil can be used instead.
  • 1 tablespoon Freshly Grated Ginger Ground ginger can be used in half the amount.
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha Optional, adjust according to heat preference.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper White pepper can offer a more subtle profile.
For the Salmon

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, extending beyond the edges.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, Sriracha (if using), and black pepper.
  3. Place the salmon fillet on the baking sheet, skin-side down, and crimp the foil edges to seal.
  4. Pour the marinade over the salmon, spreading it evenly to ensure well-coating.
  5. Bake the foil packet in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the salmon flakes easily.
  6. For a caramelized finish, open the foil and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
