Ingredients:
- 2 to 2.5 lbs whole salmon fillet with skin on
- 4 tablespoons Honey Ginger White Balsamic
- 4 tablespoons regular strength soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro & Roasted Onion Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Japanese Toasted Sesame Oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Juice of 1 fresh lemon
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 seedless chopped jalapeno (optional)
- Parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Salmon:
- Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the salmon fillet, removing excess moisture. Place the salmon in a large glass baking dish and set aside.
- Make the Marinade:
- In a bowl, whisk together the Honey Ginger Balsamic, soy sauce, honey, Cilantro & Roasted Onion Olive Oil, Japanese Toasted Sesame Oil, garlic, ginger, black pepper, green onions, lemon juice, chopped red onion, and jalapeno (if using). Pour the mixture evenly over the salmon, ensuring the salmon is coated with the marinade. Cover and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight if possible.
- Bake the Salmon:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (with the rack in the middle position). Remove the salmon from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature while the oven preheats.
- Transfer the salmon to a large piece of aluminum foil on a large rimmed baking sheet, skin-side down. Evenly distribute the marinade over the salmon. Cover the salmon with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes.
- Broil the Salmon:
- Remove the salmon from the oven, move the rack to the upper position, and place the salmon back on the rack. Broil on high for about 5 minutes, watching carefully to ensure the salmon doesn’t burn. It should reach a nicely light golden color on top. Remove the salmon from heat immediately.
- Serve:
- Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
