Instructions
Creating Glazed Salmon is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer for a more intense flavor.
3. Preheat the Oven: If you’re baking the salmon, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, prepare your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Bake or Grill the Salmon:
– For Baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
– For Grilling: Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
5. Glaze the Salmon: During the last few minutes of cooking, brush additional marinade over the salmon for an extra layer of flavor.
6. Remove and Rest: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
