Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp olive oil (or sesame oil for extra flavor)
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (optional)
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish or sheet pan with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, olive oil, and ginger (if using).
Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the soy sauce mixture evenly over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is coated.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate salmon in the soy sauce mixture for 20–30 minutes before baking.
Serve with steamed rice, roasted broccoli, or sautéed bok choy for a balanced meal.
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
