⏱️ Cooking Time: 20 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

  1. 1.
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and easy cleanup. This preparation helps in achieving an even cook for the salmon, maintaining moisture.
  2. 2.
    In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, and freshly grated ginger. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is well blended. This will serve as both a marinade and a glaze for the salmon, infusing it with rich flavors.
  3. 3.
    Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Pour half of the soy-ginger mixture over the fillet, ensuring it is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 5 minutes. Marinating helps the salmon to absorb the flavors well, leading to a more savory dish.
  4. 4.
    Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes. Check if it's done by gently flaking it with a fork at the thickest part; it should be opaque and flake easily.
  5. 5.
    Once out of the oven, sprinkle sesame seeds liberally over the top of the salmon while it's still warm. This step adds a delightful crunch and a nutty aroma. Serve immediately for best taste.
