A delightful salmon recipe featuring a honey-soy glaze with a hint of ginger, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and a perfect texture for the salmon.
In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until smooth.
Mixing the glaze thoroughly prevents lumps and ensures a consistent flavor.
Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, in a baking dish.
Using a skin-on fillet helps retain moisture during cooking.
Pour the glaze over the salmon, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Basting the salmon with the glaze during cooking enhances the flavor.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Check the salmon for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part; it should flake easily.
Sprinkle the sliced green onion over the baked salmon before serving.
Adding green onion as a garnish provides a fresh and vibrant touch.
Serve the salmon warm with your choice of sides, and enjoy your meal!
Pairing the salmon with steamed rice or vegetables makes for a complete and satisfying meal.
