Sweet Ginger and Soy Salmon

Ingredients
 

  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoons mirin optional (found in the Asian section of the grocery store)
  • 2 tablespoons agave nectar
  • 2 salmon fillets
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Combine first 6 ingredients and stir together in a baking dish to make a marinade. Place the salmon fillets in the dish skin side up.
  • Let them soak for 10 minutes. If you have time I like to rotate the fish on their sides (if you have purchased thicker fillets) for a couple minutes each to soak up more of the marinade.
  • Add the fillets to a greased baking sheet, skin side down. Bake for 10 minutes, longer depending on the thickness.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds.

Notes

If you are not using agave nectar, substitute 2 Tbsp. of honey + a little water to thin out the honey.
I also highly recommend buying mirin if you don't have any, especially if you enjoy cooking Asian meals. It's a sweetened rice wine that adds another layer of flavor to this dish.
