Cooking Tips

• Make sure to marinate the salmon for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.
• To check if the salmon is cooked through, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If it flakes easily, it is done.
• For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some sesame seeds on top of the salmon before baking.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the salmon in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
