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.

We love this recipe! Our go to sides are wasabi mashed potatoes and green beans, I make extra to use in a salmon loaf! Mmmmmm
My son made this for me for Mother’s Day and it was very good. I bookmarked the recipe but will make one change and that would be to take some of the marinade and turn it into a glaze for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
This is my families favorite mean, bar none. Do not hesitate to try it. I serve it with a fresh Asian purple cabbage slaw and it is healthy and delicious.
