Salmon is one of my go-to fish for a quick, weeknight meal. I especially love it with a simple Asian style marinade and baked in the oven. Easy Weeknight Salmon is such a deliciously simple meal to prepare, and it comes out great every time.

Let's see what we need.
We're ready to cook.
Preheat oven to 400-degrees. Combine soy sauce, water, mirin, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and honey. Combine the marinade with salmon in a baggie and seal; refrigerate for 20 minutes. Reserve the marinade and transfer the salmon, to a foil-lined sheet pan and place in the oven. Bake until desired doneness 12-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Microwave the reserved marinade for 2 minutes, cool, and use as a sauce when serving.
It's ready! It looks so good, and it's delicious. This dish is easy enough for any night of the week and worthy enough for entertaining. Give it a try, and I know you'll love it.
Enjoy!
