4 salmon fillets, approximately 6 ounces each
→ Glaze
02 -
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
03 -
1/4 cup soy sauce
04 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
05 -
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
06 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
07 -
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
→ Garnish

# How to Make It:
01 -
Set oven temperature to 400°F and allow to fully heat before baking.
02 -
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and lightly brush or spray the surface with oil.
03 -
In a medium bowl, whisk brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper until the sugar has fully dissolved and the glaze is smooth.
04 -
Pat each salmon fillet dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
05 -
Evenly spoon or pour the glaze mixture over the top of each salmon fillet.
06 -
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For thicker fillets, extend cooking time up to 18 minutes; thinner fillets may finish sooner.
07 -
If a stickier surface is desired, broil on high for the last 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
08 -
Remove from the oven and allow salmon to rest at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
09 -
Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the salmon fillets just before serving, if desired.
10 -
Serve immediately while hot, drizzling any extra pan glaze over each fillet.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For gluten-free preparation, substitute tamari for soy sauce.
02 -
Adjust baking time according to the thickness of the salmon fillets for optimal doneness.
03 -
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
