Ginger-Soy Baked Salmon
Description
A fragrant marinade of ginger, soy, garlic, and a touch of spicy wasabi gives this baked salmon just the right amount of heat.
Ingredients
•
1 tablespoon sesame oil
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
2/3 cup light soy sauce
•
3 tablespoons rice wine
•
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
•
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
•
1/2 teaspoon wasabi paste
•
2 (5 ounce) salmon fillets
Directions
1
Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in garlic. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large glass or ceramic bowl.
2
Add soy sauce, rice wine, rice vinegar, ginger, and wasabi paste to the garlic-sesame oil mixture; whisk to combine. Add salmon fillets and turn to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
4
Remove fillets from the marinade, shake off excess, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Discard the remaining marinade.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.
