• Put the marinated salmon on a baking tray, skin-side down, and spoon over a little of the leftover marinade. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and roast in the oven for 15 mins, or until done to your liking. Serve with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables.

SESAME GINGER BAKED SALMON IN FOIL

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375ºF. Tear three pieces of foil that are slightly larger than the baking sheet, large enough to wrap the salmon in. Place one piece of foil on the baking sheet, followed by the second one going the other way (like a cross) and the last one going the same direction as the first. This will ensure none of the sauce leaks out.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil and add the ginger and garlic and allow to sizzle for just 30 seconds, add the rice vinegar and soy sauce and allow the them to reduce for 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the honey and remove from heat. Add the sesame oil and red pepper flakes.
• Place the salmon filet in the prepared foil, using a brush or spoon, brush the salmon with the sesame ginger sauce. Any remaining sauce can be poured around the salmon. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds. Wrap the foil so all sides are properly closed so the sauce does not leak.
• Bake salmon for 12-14 minutes or until firm (see note). Open the foil, spoon the sauce surrounding the salmon onto the fish, place under the broiler on for the 1-3 minutes, keeping an eye on the salmon so it does not burn. Remove from the oven, if your sauce is a little liquidy, allow the fish to rest for just 5 minutes. This will allow the sauce to thicken a bit. Serve with sliced scallions garnished on top.

EASY MAPLE SESAME SALMON

• Line the marinated salmon fillets on the baking sheet and top each with sesame seeds. Hold onto the used marinade-see step 4. Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes depending on thickness, about 10 minutes per 1-inch inch thickness measured from the thickest part of the fillet or until the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C) internal heat. If desired (for crispier edges), broil the salmon on high for the last 3 minutes.
