• 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger

• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 (5 ounce) salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons rice wine
• ⅔ cup light soy sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in garlic. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large glass or ceramic bowl.

Step 4

Add soy sauce, rice wine, rice vinegar, ginger, and wasabi paste to the garlic-sesame oil mixture; whisk to combine. Add salmon fillets and turn to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Remove fillets from the marinade, shake off excess, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Discard the remaining marinade.
