Honey-Garlic Glazed Salmon

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each), preferably skin-on
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup honey, high-quality and preferably raw
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce, low-sodium if desired
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (optional)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
• Chopped green onions, for garnishing
• Sesame seeds, toasted for garnishing

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
2. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger (if using), olive oil, and rice vinegar until smooth.
4. On a lined baking sheet, place the salmon fillets skin-side down. Drizzle half of the honey-garlic glaze over the fillets.
5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Switch your oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking for a caramelized finish.
7. Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the remaining honey-garlic glaze on top.
