Step 2
Place the salmon in a large baking dish with its skin side down, then pour the marinade over the fish, and rub it until well coated up to the sides. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap, then place it in the fridge to chill and marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.

Once the fish is almost done marinating, preheat your oven to 375°F or 190°C, then place the baking dish in the oven making sure to remove the plastic first, and allow it to bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked to preference. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy!
