Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Fresh Atlantic Salmon Filet cut into 3 to 4 sections (Our favorite is the salmon from Trader Joes)

MARINADE

  • ¼ cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • ½ tsp sesame seeds optional
  • sriracha, to taste optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Cut salmon into 3-4, 4-inch wide pieces.
  • Place in a baking dish
  • Wisk together all the ingredients in the marinade. Pour half of the marinade over the salmon and set on the counter at room temperature for 30 min (or you can marinate the fish for 2 hours in the refrigerator).
  • Set the second half of marinade aside.
  • Place fish on a foil-lined baking sheet with a rack, or glass dish skin side down. If salmon was refrigerated let it sit until it comes to room temperature. Around 15-20 minutes.
  • Bake around 10-14 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. The internal temperature should be 145 degrees F for well done (see notes below on temperature). Use a thermometer to check the thickest part of the fish for doneness.
  • Remove fish from oven and pour remaining marinade over fish and let it rest 10 minutes.
  • Serve over rice, riced cauliflower or a simple side.

Notes

Salmon filets are all different in thickness. There is no definitive bake time to follow. It is about when the desired internal temperature is reached. Smaller filets will bake more quickly. Sockeye salmon fillets are thinner than Atlantic or farm-raised salmon, so it will bake more quickly.
The temperatures for salmon is 125 to 130 degrees F for medium or 140 for well done, about 10 to 14 minutes depending on the size of the filets. When you remove the fish from the oven it will continue to cook while resting.
We have a June oven that has an automatic setting for salmon. Ours cooked for 13 minutes. Then we let it sit for 10 minutes.
