🥘 Ingredients
You will need 7 simple ingredients:
- 3 salmon fillets, skin-on: Wild salmon is healthier but it has a dryer texture- farmed salmon has more fat and is juicier! (I used farmed salmon.
For the Asian glazed sauce:
- 3 Tablespoons of light soy sauce
- 1.5 Tablespoons of honey
- 2 teaspoons of oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons of rice vinegar
- 3 fresh garlic cloves: I have made this fish recipe without the aromatics on days when I just had no energy to slice up the garlic and ginger. However, I have to be honest and say it doesn't taste as good, as you need the aromatics to cover up the slightly fishy taste of salmon. I will test it with white fish (which is milder tasting) and let you know if it works.
- 1 inch fresh ginger
Note: for a touch of spice, you can add 1 Tablespoon of sriracha.
🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Mince the ginger and garlic. Mix well with the sauces. Leave the salmon in the sauce till it is at room temperature. (If not, the fish fillet will be tough after baking.)
- Once at room temperature (don't leave it for more than 30 minutes), place the salmon on a parchment paper-lined baking tray. (If not the sugars will create a mess on your tray!) Bake at 200C (390F)/ 180C (355F) fan for 10-12 minutes. (Exact time depends on the thickness of your fish.)
- Whilst the salmon fillet is baking, simmer the sauce marinade for a few minutes- make sure it is thoroughly cooked since the raw fish was sitting in it. When you remove the fish from the oven, spread the honey garlic sauce on the fish. Garnish with sliced green onions, lightly toasted sesame seeds, and sliced red chilies (optional.)
🥡 How to Store
The texture of fish suffers when you reheat so I would recommend not making more than you plan to eat.
However, if you really have to heat it up, steam it to keep it tender. (Store in an airtight container in the fridge.)
