Salmon is one of the most delicious and healthy fish you can prepare for your family or friends as is full of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids. I usually like to use wild caught salmon whenever that is possible as it contains more minerals and less fat. This Baked Sesame Salmon is one of my favorite recipes I make pretty often for my family.
This Baked Sesame Salmon recipe is very easy and quick to prepare. The salmon pieces are marinated in a soy sauce, honey, ginger, sesame oil, and garlic mixture which gives salmon a great flavor and a great balance between sweet and spicy. There’s no way not to fall in love with this recipe from the first bite.
You can serve this Baked Sesame Salmon with your favorite roasted veggies and alongside rice.
How to make baked sesame salmon
Begin by combining ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl to create a flavorful marinade.
Next, cut the salmon into four pieces and season each piece with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Transfer the seasoned salmon pieces to a bowl and pour the soy sauce marinade over them. Cover the bowl and allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for enhanced flavor.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Arrange the marinated salmon pieces on the prepared baking pan and bake them for 15-20 minutes.
During baking, periodically brush the top of the salmon pieces with the marinade for added flavor infusion.
Once the salmon is cooked to perfection, sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onion over the top for a delightful garnish.
Serve the baked salmon immediately over a bed of rice and alongside your favorite vegetables for a delicious and nutritious meal.

Beautiful, warm, comforting, balanced, tasty. I’m in. Thank you and have a pleasant day !
I never used to be a “fish” person but as time went on, I really developed a love of salmon–especially grilled or baked fillets. Gotta be careful, because as healthy as salmon is, it’s way too easy to make it UNhealthy with all types of seasonings (I’m soooo guilty of it!).
Your recipe looks like it’s got a lot of flavor WHILE staying healthy, which is awesome. I need to try it. Thanks for sharing!
