Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the salmon evenly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined to create the flavorful glaze.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides, then place them skin-side down in a baking dish for even cooking.
Pour the honey garlic mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring all pieces are well coated for maximum flavor.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches your desired level of doneness.
While the salmon bakes, heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add sesame seeds and toast for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute and enhance tenderness.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the salmon for a delicious crunch and fresh flavor.
Serve the salmon with lemon wedges on the side to add a bright, citrusy finish to the dish.
