Asian Salmon

How to Prepare Baked Asian Salmon

Gather your ingredients and preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. 

In a bowl combine the garlic, hoisin sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, honey, sriracha sauce and soy sauce to make the Asian glaze. Mix to combine. Put ⅓ of the glaze into another bowl and set both bowls of glaze aside.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking oil.  

Slice the salmon into 4 fillets and place skin down on the baking sheet.

Using the bowl with ⅓ of the Asian glaze, brush a light coat of the Asian glaze on the top of each salmon fillet. Since this is raw salmon, make sure to NOT put the brush into the larger bowl with 2/3 of the glaze as you do not want to contaminate it with any bacteria that might be on the salmon. After coating the salmon fillets, discard the rest of the ⅓ bowl of Asian glaze and clean your brush.

Cook the salmon for 4-6 minutes based on every ½ inch of thickness to your liking (4 minutes on the more rare side and 6 minutes on the more done side). Test with a fork, you know it is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit so that the salmon is cooked all the way through.

Use a clean brush to top the salmon fillets with the remaining 2/3 of the Asian glaze that was reserved and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Serve and Enjoy!

NOTES

Storage Info:

Store the Asian Salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay good for up to 3 days. Freezing is possible; wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place it in a freezer bag, keeping it well for about a month. To reheat, thaw it in the refrigerator if frozen, then warm in the oven at 275 degrees Fahrenheit (135 degrees Celsius) until heated through. Avoid microwaving as it can dry out the salmon and unevenly heat it.
