Another great and easy salmon recipe.  So simple, you can make this on a weeknight when you're craving a quick and tasty homemade meal!!


INGREDIENTS: 
one whole wild salmon fillet approximately 3.6 pounds
1/3 cup Tamari sauce
3 tablespoons of honey

2 tablespoons of grated ginger
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teapoon of chili pepper flakes
2 tablespoons of sesame seeds

METHOD: 
 Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
 Place salmon fillet on a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.

In a measuring cup, whisk, tamari, honey, garlic, ginger, black pepper and chili pepper flakes.  Pour 2/3 of the marinade over the fillet. Reserve the 1/3 to pour over the salmon towards the end of the cooking time.

Salmon is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork.  Do not over cook. Remove from oven and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Cover loosely with foil for 5 minutes before serving.
