Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 fillets salmon fillets (6 oz each) Fresh Atlantic or Pacific salmon works best, skin-on preferred
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger Finely grated for maximum flavor impact
  • 3 limes Zested and juiced for bright acidity
  • 3 tablespoons honey Local varieties add unique floral notes
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce Low-sodium option recommended
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced fresh for aromatic depth
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil Toasted variety enhances nuttiness
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Extra virgin for cooking
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes Adjust to taste preference
  • to taste Salt and black pepper Freshly ground preferred
  • Fresh cilantro For garnish and freshness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Whisk together grated ginger, lime zest, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sesame oil in a medium bowl.
  2. Pat salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Place fillets in a shallow dish and pour marinade over them, ensuring even coverage. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Turn fillets once halfway through marinating time for optimal flavor absorption.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  2. Remove salmon from marinade, reserving liquid for later use. Sear fillets skin-side up for 3-4 minutes until golden crust forms. Flip carefully and sear another 2 minutes.
  3. Transfer skillet to preheated oven. Bake for 6-8 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Cooking time varies based on fillet thickness.
  4. While salmon bakes, pour reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until reduced by half and slightly thickened.
Serving
  1. Remove salmon from oven and let rest for 3 minutes. Drizzle with reduced glaze, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Substitute honey with maple syrup for deeper sweetness. Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for gluten-free preparation.
