Salmon is one of our favorite types of fish to prepare at home for a healthy weeknight dinner. Packed with healthy Omega-3 fatty acides, eating one to two servings of fish like wild-caught salmon could reduce the risk of heart disease. Omega-3 fatty acids may decrease triglycerides, lower blood pressure, reduce blood clotting, decrease stroke and heart failure risk, reduce irregular heartbeats, and in children may improve learning ability.
We love salmon because it’s a flavorful fish without the briny fishy taste of some other seafood and you can cook it many different ways. It’s meaty enough to hold up to grilling and pan-searing, but still tender and flaky. Remington has even smoked it and that was amazing! Generally, we just bake it in the oven though because it’s easy peasy. This is a yummy, super easy recipe for Asian marinated salmon that you can leave to marinate while you prep the rest of dinner or if you are short on time, just use it as a glaze instead.

Put salmon in large ziploc bag. Pour marinade over salmon and seal shut.
Marinade in fridge for 30 minutes up to 1 hour.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray broiling pan or foil-lined baking sheet with olive oil.
After done marinading, slide salmon onto prepared pan.
Bake for 15-20 mins or until it flakes and is fork tender.
If you are using it as a glaze, substitute 2 Tbsp of brown sugar for the honey, reduce the sesame oil by half and spread over the top of the salmon using a pastry brush before baking and then continue to baste as it bakes.
Sprinkle with sliced green onion and sesame seeds before serving.
Enjoy!
