Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, reduced sodium soy sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, Sriracha, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
  4. Carefully lay the salmon fillet, skin-side down, on the foil-lined baking sheet.
  5. Pour the prepared marinade evenly over the salmon fillet.
  6. Fold the edges of the foil over the salmon to create a sealed packet.
  7. Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes.
