Dear Salmon,Thank you for being somewhat affordable this past weekend. Without the minor price drop, I probably would not have purchased you and therefore wouldn’t have thought up this flavorful dish.
Forever yours,
Erin
Ok sorry but I had to do that because I seriously can’t remember the last time I purchased salmon. Tilapia-yup; mahi mahi-yup, shrimp-every weekend, but salmon? Almost never. Salmon is wonderful for several reasons–seriously like a million–but the stand-out reasons to me are:
A) Protein content
B) Omega-3 fatty acids
C) It’s delicious
B) Omega-3 fatty acids
C) It’s delicious
You know how some fish can be too fish-y? Not salmon. Salmon is perfect in every way (I mean, I think so..). With the addition of soy sauce, sesame oil and honey, this salmon is perfect served over rice or veggies.
Ingredients
- 3 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp honey
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Thaw salmon out according to instructions on the back of the bag.
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Combine soy sauce, sesame oil and honey in a bowl and mix together.
- Once salmon are thawed, place in a 9x13 dish; brush marinade on both sides of the salmon; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake salmon for approximately 5 minutes; flip and bake on other side for 5 minutes until salmon is flakey.
- Salmon is ready--enjoy!

I have never thought to use honey & soy on my salmon… my go-to salmon is coconut aminos with this Asian spice blend I get at Costco… going to have to try this recipe out next time!!
Ooh, this sounds yum! I’ve only just recently started eating fish, mainly white types. I must give this recipe a try 😛
YUUUUMMMM!
Yummmmy this looks good. Whenever people ask me what I miss most after switching to a vegan diet, I usually say salmon. For now, I will just drool over your photos. And your intro totally made me giggle.
OOOO I love honey soy salmon! I have made a few variations of this before as well…it’s my favorite combo for salmon. Yum!
I. Love. Salmon. Seriously so good! I love this combo and thanks for the reminder to fancy up my salmon. Normally I get lazy and just throw some garlic, salt, and pepper on it- still delicious.
Eric doesn’t like white fish, so I buy salmon or trout (usually salmon) almost every week – I tend to do the same thing each week, so I’ll have to give this a try!
I’m not a fan of fish, but my boyfriend is, I’ll have to save this for later for him!!
Back when I ate fish/meat I loveeeddd salmon. Now, I love tofu, so the sesame oil, soy sauce and honey mixture… yummy!!!! I can definitively try it with tofu 😛
I have a small love affair with salmon. It’s my favorite of the fishes 🙂
I’ve been on a huge salmon kick lately. I’ve been pan-frying it in coconut oil with garlic, lemon, salt & pepper and kale. SO GOOD.
Oh guuuurl that sounds good–I’ll have to try that!
I had salmon last night!!! But it wasn’t affordable. I had a mo where I was like “yup I’m gonna splurge on some fresh salmon” then I proceeded to spend the rest of the meal reminding C it was fresh and expensive and he better seriously enjoy it lol
Lolol #1 gf right there.
Yes. Salmon takes the fish crown. It is amazing….Although I admit, I only ever bake it with olive oil, sea salt and red pepper flakes. I NEED to try it this way- so simple so tasty sounding!
Ahhh but that’s a good way too! Salmon takes the crown for sure.
Dear salmon,
Thank you for being cheap this weekend so Erin could come up w/ this recipe with us 🙂 You both rock!
As always, sending my best,
ME xoxo
Hhaha thanks Jessie!
