Elements You Want & Why

2. Honey: Honey is likely one of the predominant components and pairs so nicely with garlic, one thing you might know when you’ve had this honey garlic shrimp earlier than. (The same, however faster dish!)
3. Soy Sauce: I usually use Kikkoman much less sodium tamari soy sauce, which is labeled gluten free. Once more, not sponsored… only a large fan! In the event you’re gluten delicate or illiberal, you should utilize that or swap the soy sauce with precise tamari sauce.
4. Sesame Oil: This can be a new addition over the previous couple years and I exploit it for sticking energy.

Step Pictures: The right way to Make Honey Garlic Soy Salmon

Place salmon in a container or zipped-top bag. I often use these glass containers for marinating they usually work simply as nicely for storing leftovers and freezing meals/baked items. (See 8 Freezer Meals for some inspiration!) Combine the marinade components collectively and pour about half over the salmon:

Marinate the salmon for at the least quarter-hour and as much as 4 hours. You may stretch this to eight hours if wanted. You’ll love that this dish can work with any schedule, in a rush or not!

Place salmon on lined baking sheet, reserve used marinade if desired to cut back with the remainder of the unused marinade:

The sauce will caramelize over the salmon because it bakes:

Whereas the salmon bakes, cut back the remaining marinade (and used marinade, if desired) on the range to make a glaze. You need a wealthy, thick glaze:

Drizzle the glaze all around the heat baked salmon. You might even drizzle a spoonful onto every salmon filet in direction of the top of bake time and return them to the oven to complete baking.

And your dinner is sizzling & prepared! Be at liberty to garnish the honey garlic soy salmon with inexperienced onion and/or sesame seeds. I prefer to steam broccoli and make a packet of brown rice because the salmon bakes.

The sides are crisp, the honey garlic salmon is tender, the flavors are unbelievable!
