Ingredients:

• salmon fillets (4, 150g each)
• lemon (1, juiced and zested)
• fresh ginger (1-inch piece, grated)
• honey (2 tablespoons)
• soy sauce (1 tablespoon)
• garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared sheet. In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, grated ginger, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined.

Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. Once marinated, bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serve the Lemon-Ginger Salmon with a side of steamed jasmine rice and your favorite vegetables. The combination of zesty lemon, spicy ginger, and sweet honey creates a perfect harmony of flavors that will leave you wanting more.
