Ingredients

3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced green onion
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons minced ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 (8-ounce) skin-on, center-cut salmon fillets

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
Whisk rice vinegar, olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, green onion, pepper, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl; add the salmon and turn to coat. Marinate salmon at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes.
Place the salmon skin-side down into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon.
Bake salmon in the preheated oven until it easily flakes when prodded with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

Mealthy tip:

If you decide you'd rather grill the salmon, pour the marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil so you can safely use it as a baste or a dipping sauce. It will also taste great on your veggies!

McKenzie C says:

I added a little brown sugar to the marinade and let it sit overnight. It was delicious! Perfect with light zucchini noodles.

Mary Clare Holm says:

Super easy recipe. We will definitely be repeating this again very soon!

Katie Hason says:

Salmon and soy sauce just go together! I made it with basmati rice, and added extra soy sauce. So good! Reminds me of a salmon teriyaki bowl, but better. The sesame ginger sauce is mouthwatering!

Tal Levitas says:

It tasted fine, but I feel like the soy sauce and ginger were a bit overpowering to the salmon. Next time I'd make the sauce separately and pour it on my rice instead of the salmon.

Tarragon Boi says:

This was a really simple salmon recipe, but it turned out SO GOOD. I love salmon and am always looking for new salmon recipes. I ate it with rice, not the couscous like they did in the video.
