Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 8-ounce salmon fillets

Instructions

  • Make the marinade by whisking together the marinade ingredients (see recipe context) until combined, then pour over the 4 salmon fillets in a shallow dish.
  • Cover and refrigerate the salmon, flipping once, and marinate for 4–6 hours.
  • While the salmon marinates, prepare the strawberry salsa by mixing the salsa ingredients together, then chill for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the marinated salmon on a grill pan or in a baking dish, spacing the fillets apart.
  • Bake the salmon for about 14 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness; total cook time is about 20 minutes including oven preheating and resting.
  • Remove the salmon from the oven and serve immediately topped with the chilled strawberry salsa.
