My boyfriend and I started doing "Fish Fridays," in which we make fish for dinner every Friday. Well at least we've attempted to. Obviously schedules can get in the way, so I guess it's safe to say we try and make fish at least once a week, not necessarily on Friday's. We made this last Sunday. It was delicious. A nice Asian twist to our usual baked salmon. It's not exactly a quick meal, so give yourself some time to cook it. This involves marinating the salmon, baking it, and making a glaze to go on top. I found this recipe from Damn Delicious. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients for the Salmon Marinade:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- 4 salmon filets
Ingredients for the Honey Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha, or more, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
- To make the glaze, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, ginger and sesame seeds in a small bowl. Leave aside until the fish is fully cooked.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds and green onions.
- In a large bowl, combine ginger marinade and salmon filets
- Marinate for at least 30 minutes to overnight (I only did 30 minutes and that was fine!)
- Lightly coat a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Place salmon filets along with the marinade onto prepared baking dish and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.
- Serve salmon immediately with honey ginger glaze. Enjoy :)
