Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced or grated
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, optional
  • 4 6-8 ounce fillets of fresh salmon, skin on
  • cooked rice or rice noodles, for serving
  • veggies such as steamed broccoli, grated carrot, and edamame
  • 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds or sliced scallions, optional

Instructions
 

  • Mix soy sauce, vinegar, and honey in a bowl until honey is dissolved and not sticking to the bottom of the bowl. In a shallow bowl or baking dish, combine half of the soy sauce mixture with the garlic and ginger, if using. Save remaining sauce to serve with the cooked salmon. Place salmon flesh side down into the marinade and spoon some over the top of each fillet to coat the sides. Set aside for 5 to 15 minutes.
  • While salmon marinades, prepare vegetable and/or side dishes such as rice or noodles. Place an oven rack at the top position in your oven and preheat the broiler to high. Place marinated salmon skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with foil (I don't suggest parchment because it could burn).
  • Broil salmon until caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Depending on the thickness of your salmon, it could be a little pink in the center still. That's ok! It will continue to cook as it rests. Serve salmon with extra sauce, side dishes and a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced scallions, if desired.
