Ginger Garlic Baked Salmon

The Best Baked Salmon

This baked salmon recipe comes from my very popular ginger garlic baked chicken. It is one of the best salmon recipes ever!

Imagine baking the salmon with some ginger, garlic, honey, soy sauce, and oyster sauce.

Ginger and garlic are two of my favorite ingredients. I never run out of them in my kitchen.

In Asian cooking, they are two of the most important ingredients that impart amazing aromas and flavors to all kinds of food, especially when they are used to marinate protein such as chicken, meat, or seafood such as salmon.

The end result is SO good. The salmon is extremely flavorful and delightful.
