A delightful salmon recipe with a flavorful sesame glaze, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish.
Line the dish with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
In a mixing bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar to create the glaze.
Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth glaze.
Brush the glaze evenly over the salmon fillets.
Ensure the glaze covers the salmon completely for maximum flavor.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the glazed salmon.
Use a mix of white and black sesame seeds for a visually appealing presentation.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Check the salmon's doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part.
Serve the baked salmon with steamed vegetables and rice for a complete meal.
Drizzle some extra glaze over the vegetables for added flavor.
