  • Place the marinated salmon in the dish, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan, bring it to a boil, then simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens.

  • After baking, let the salmon rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
