Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Mix until well blended.
- Place salmon fillets in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the salmon and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

- During the last few minutes of cooking, pour in the reserved marinade to thicken slightly.
- Once cooked through (about 6-8 minutes total), plate the salmon and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, marinate your salmon overnight.
- Pair with steamed vegetables or quinoa for a complete meal.
