- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions

Spoon half the mixture over the salmon and place baking sheet in the preheated oven. Cook for 10 minutes. Coat with remaining sauce and continue baking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes or till cooked through. Fish should flake easily with a fork.

Notes
If you have large fillets or are cooking more than four, I suggest doubling the amount of sauce to be sure you'll have enough.
