Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • White sesame seeds for garnishing
  • Chopped parsley for garnishing

Equipment

  • Oven or grill
  • Baking sheet or grill pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Meat thermometer (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Whisk together until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
  2. Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it is well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more intense flavor.
  3. If you're using an oven, preheat it to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, preheat your grill over medium-high heat.
  4. Line a baking sheet with foil or lightly oil your grill pan. Place the marinated salmon on the prepared surface, skin side down. If baking, cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. If grilling, cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
  5. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven or grill. Sprinkle with white sesame seeds and chopped parsley for a fresh finish. Serve immediately, enjoying the delicious flavors of your Soy Glazed Salmon.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
  • Make-ahead: Marinade can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Salmon is best when cooked to medium-rare; avoid overcooking for juicier fish.
