Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep (6 oz each) salmon fillets from drying out.
