Easy Sheet Pan Honey and Ginger Glazed Salmon that can be made in about 20 minutes and with only one pan!
It’s day 6 of the New Year and I’m still going strong with eating healthier. I didn’t necessarily make a New Year’s Resolution, because remember I quit doing that.
But I’m making a conscious effort throughout the year to work in more healthy meals for me and my family.
Salmon has to be one of my favorite dinners to make.
It’s so easy to make and is perfect for those busy nights. Plus I like to mix it up a bit every time I make it and add different seasonings.
This time I decided to use some freshly minced Ginger. I took a thumb size piece of Ginger and peeled the skin off with a pairing knife. Then shredded it with a small grater, like the size you would use to zest a lemon.
You can also buy minced Ginger in a jar, but I didn’t have any on hand and personally I like the fresh Ginger better because it has more flavor.
I mixed the Ginger in a small bowl with some Honey, Rice Wine Vinegar, and EVOO.
Then I spooned it evenly over the top of the Salmon fillet before baking.
Yum, Yum, Yum!
This came out so flaky, flavorful, and delicious!
I paired this with Asparagus and some Rice. I actually made the Asparagus in the oven on a separate sheet pan in the oven along side the Salmon. The Asparagus only takes about 10 minutes, so you can just add it in half way through the Salmon cooking.
The yummy recipe for this easy side dish is here>>> Roasted Asparagus
