Asian flavors dominate this easy soy glazed salmon recipe. Just bake in a sweet & savory soy sauce glaze & you'll have dinner on the table in 30 minutes.
In a small saucepan, mix soy sauce, honey, and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until glaze is reduced by about a third, 7 to 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Set aside 1-½ tablespoons of the glaze to top the finished salmon.
For easy cleanup, line a 2-quart baking dish with foil. Pour the remaining glaze into the prepared dish then place salmon pieces on top. Let mainate for 15 minutes. If the salmon has skin on one side, put the flesh side down first to marinate then turn the fillets over just prior to baking.
Place the baking dish with salmon fillets on the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 15 – 20 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Turn oven to broil. Baste salmon with honey soy sauce from the baking dish then sprinkle the top of the fillets with sesame seeds. Broil for 2-3 minutes, about 6" from heat, just until sesame seeds are toasted.
To serve, place salmon on serving plates and drizzle reserved glaze on top.
Notes
HOW TO REHEAT SALMON:Reheat salmon in a preheated 275°F oven. Place the salmon on a baking sheet, and cover it with aluminum foil. Heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. In a pinch, reheat it in the microwave. Place the salmon on a microwave-safe plate, cover it with a microwave-safe lid or another plate, and heat on low for 30-second intervals until warmed through.
