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
3 tablespoons of grated  garlic
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.

Cook uncovered in the oven for 25 minutes and then pour the remainder of the glaze over the fillet of salmon.  Continue to cook for another 5 minutes. 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.
