Ingredients
Scale
4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Stir until the brown sugar is dissolved.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
If baking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the marinade for later. Bake for 12-15 minutes or grill for 6-8 minutes per side, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce to a simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Once the salmon is cooked, brush the thickened glaze over the top of the fillets for added flavor.
Remove from the oven or grill, and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or rice.
Adjust the marinade ingredients to taste if you prefer a sweeter or saltier flavor.
