Ginger Garlic Baked Salmon - the best and easiest Asian salmon marinade made with delicious ginger and garlic. The result is moist, flavorful, and juicy.
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.

- 5 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce

Instructions
- Rinse the salmon and pat it dry with paper towels. Add the ginger and garlic to the salmon and gently rub them in. Add the remaining ingredients, stirring to coat the salmon evenly with all the seasonings.
- Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably for 2 hours in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a cookie sheet with greased aluminum foil and place the salmon on it. Bake for 15 minutes in the middle of the oven, or until the surface turns brown or slightly charred. Serve warm with rice.

- If the ginger and garlic are burned on the surface of the salmon, scrape them off before serving.

I don’t understand why we need a personal history with every recipe these days. The internet is super annoying
What can be used instead of oyster sauce?
I had a 1/2 pound piece of salmon, so I halved the ginger and garlic I put on it. I used the whole recipe of the other ingredients, however. I used a 9×9 pan and greased it with coconut oil before putting the raw fish in it. I grated the ginger directly on the fish, chopped the garlic and added it, then carefully poured the marinade over it and set it aside to marinate. After awhile, some of the marinade had slidden off the fish, so I tossed about a cup of broccoli florets in it and added a little more coconut oil on top. I put up a pot of rice, threw the salmon and broccoli in the pan in the oven, tossed the broccoli about halfway through the cooking time and had a delicious meal! Thanks for a great recipe, I can’t wait to try more!

Why is a recipe website playing background music? PLEASE STOP!!!
It turned out to be yummy… My husband and daughter want me to make it again. What liked about it is the very small quantity of oil and yet it tastes good. Thank you so much!
Thanks for trying my ginger garlic baked salmon.
This recipe is even better if you bake the salmon on a stone. It creates a brick oven effect and it’s so delicious.
Wow, what a great idea. I will have to try.
Hey there, do you transfer the marinade with the salmon onto the baking dish when you’re ready to bake or you don’t add the extra marinade when you’re baking?
Yes add the extra marinade onto the baking dish.
