How to make…step-by-step
Place the salmon in a large zipped top bag or a large, shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, combine all the ingredients for the marinade and mix well. Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, coating them thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours ahead, turning them occasionally.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 F (204 C). Lightly coat a baking dish with oil or a non-stick cooking spray. Place salmon fillets along with the marinade onto prepared baking dish and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.
