Baked Salmon in Garlic and Ginger
Salmon fillets marinated with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Baked to perfection in an oven, and goes perfectly with a bowl of rice.
My family loves it whenever I prepare salmon dishes for them, and they are among my most requested recipes.
I always indulge them since my salmon recipes are all super simple and don’t require a whole lot of ingredients to prepare, and this recipe for baked salmon in garlic and ginger is no exception.
If salmon is one of your favorite food, you need to try my recipes for salmon teriyaki, broiled miso salmon, and broiled spicy miso mayo salmon.
Ingredients for the salmon with garlic and ginger
1. Salmon fillets
We will need some salmon fillet with skin on. I am using some Alaska sockeye salmon fillets in the photos, hence the bright red color of the fish. :)
2. Aromatics
For the aromatics, we will need garlic and ginger.
3. Sauces and seasonings
We will also need soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper.
Marinating the fish
Start by patting dry the salmon fillets with a kitchen towel or paper towel and place them in a mixing bowl.
Grate the ginger and garlic, then gently rub the fillet with the grated ginger and garlic.
Add the remaining sauce and seasonings (soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper) to coat the salmon fillets.
Wrap the bowl with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Baking the salmon
Remove the marinated salmon from the fridge and let the fillets return to room temperature before baking.
Preheat the oven to 190 Celsius (375 Fahrenheit). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush the aluminum foil with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Scrape off excess marinade from the salmon, and arrange them on the baking sheet, skin side down.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cook. Optionally, turn on the broiler at the end to slightly char the surface.
Serving the salmon
Arrange baked salmon fillets on a serving plate. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, chopped scallions/cilantro, and cherry tomatoes.
Serve immediately with steamed white rice.

For such a simple recipe it sure is packed with flavor. Hubs and I love garlic and ginger so it was perfect with our salmon last night. It didn't hide the taste of the salmon, just accentuated it. We'll be keeping this recipe handy.
I'm going to try this 375 for 15 minutes. I usually cook salmon on the grill but my grill is almost dead so I'm going to try baking it. Thanks for this recipe.
