Ingredients
Directions 6 steps | 30 Minutes
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure and prep all ingredients. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
Make the honey glaze. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add the honey, soy sauce and rice vinegar to the pan. Stir until the honey is dissolved. (See notes 2.)
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the pan and stir until the glaze thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Brush the salmon fillets with the honey glaze. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through. (See notes 3-4.)
Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top of the salmon fillets before serving. Enjoy!
Notes:
- If you don't have rice vinegar, you can use apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar instead.
- You can also add some red pepper flakes to the glaze if you want a bit of spice.
- Make sure to not overcook the salmon, as it can become dry and tough. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145°F.
- You can also grill the salmon on a barbecue instead of baking it in the oven. Just be sure to oil the grill grates well so that the salmon doesn't stick.
