Typically, I use a lemon and soy based sauce for salmon. When I started to bake salmon last week, I realized we didn't have a lemon. This is what I came up with and it was a success!
This recipe is super easy and pretty quick. While your oven is preheating, rub the salmon with salt and pepper. Then, mix up your sauce. By the time you finish coating the salmon with sauce, your oven should be preheated.

Tip: Use a very sharp non-serrated knife (salmon tends to be flaky and won't be too pretty if it's torn). Also, use the midline of the salmon as a guide when quartering.
