Ingredients

6 salmon fillets individual sized, 4-5 oz each
1/3 cup soy sauce low sodium
1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil
2 tbsp hoisin sauce or honey
1½ tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1/4 cup green onions finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh ginger minced
2 garlic cloves minced
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds optional to garnish

Instructions

Prepare the marinade: in a deep baking dish large enough to hold your salmon fillets, whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable oil, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chopped green onions, fresh ginger, and garlic until well combined.
Marinate the salmon: place the fillets in the marinade, flesh side down and skin side up. Cover with foil and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
Short on time? Aim for at least 15 minutes of marinating. An hour gives the flavours more time to develop.
Prepare for baking: preheat your oven to 400°F.
Line a separate, clean baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the salmon fillets skin side down.
Add the marinade: pour the remaining marinade evenly over the fillets (optional).
Bake: roast for approximately 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets.
The salmon is done when the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C) on an instant-read thermometer. The flesh should be opaque and separate easily with a fork.
Garnish and serve: remove from the oven and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, if desired. Serve with rice, pasta, potatoes, or your favourite sides.
