This Sweet and Tangy Glazed Salmon recipe is a perfect balance of flavors. The salmon is marinated in a sweet and tangy glaze, then baked to perfection. The glaze is made with ingredients like honey, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and ginger. It adds a delightful sweetness and tanginess to the salmon, creating a mouthwatering dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs salmon fillets
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the glaze over them. Make sure the salmon is coated with the glaze on all sides. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Transfer the marinated salmon to a baking dish, reserving the excess glaze.
  5. Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baste the salmon with the reserved glaze halfway through cooking.
  6. Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
  7. Garnish the salmon with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
