Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Salmon
- 2 cloves of Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 2 Scallions
- 3 tablespoons Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 Nonstick Cooking Spray
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Corn Starch
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
Directions
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat it with cooking spray.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring, and cook 1 to 2 minutes until glossy and slightly thickened. Remove from the heat.
- Pat the salmon dry and arrange it on the baking sheet, skin side down if it has skin, with a little space between pieces. Season with the black pepper and brush about half of the glaze over the tops.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily and the thickest part reaches 135 to 140°F.
- Brush the remaining glaze over the fillets. Switch the oven to broil and broil 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely, until the edges caramelize.
- Sprinkle with the green onions and sesame seeds and serve with spoonfuls of the pan juices.
