Ingredients

• 450 gram (1 lb) salmon fillets with skin on
• 2 inch ginger, peel and grated
• 5 cloves garlic, grated
• 1 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Marinate: Start by patting dry the salmon fillets with a kitchen towel or paper towel and place them in a mixing bowl.
2. Grate the ginger and garlic, then gently rub the fillet with the grated ginger and garlic.
3. Add the remaining sauce and seasonings (soy sauce, honey, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper) to coat the salmon fillets.
4. Wrap the bowl with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
5. Bake: Remove the marinated salmon from the fridge and let the fillets return to room temperature before baking.
6. 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.
7. Scrape off excess marinade from the salmon, and arrange them on the baking sheet, skin side down.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cook. Optionally, turn on the broiler at the end to slightly char the surface.
9. Serve: 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.
