Make It Now:

1. In a large zip-top bag, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, green onion, red pepper, pepper, and salt. Zip shut and shake to combine. (Freezing instructions begin here.)
2. Add salmon fillets to the marinade and seal the bag. Set on the counter for about 30 minutes, turning once or twice to evenly distribute marinade. 
3. Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
4. Remove the salmon from the marinade with tongs and place it on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Bake until cooked almost through, about 15 minutes for thicker fillets.*

*Important Salmon Cooking Tips:

• The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillet(s). Salmon is done at 145°F internally or when it flakes easily with a fork and no longer looks translucent inside. Check the temperature early, if your fillets are thin and small. Do not overcook! When I tested thin fillets, they were almost done at 10 minutes.
• If you want more caramelization on the outside of the salmon, position the top rack about 6 inches from the broiler. When your salmon reaches about 130°F internally, turn on the broiler. Broil the salmon on the top rack for 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through and caramelized on top.

Freeze For Later: Complete Step 1, preparing marinade in a gallon-sized freezer bag. If the salmon is not already frozen, place it in a separate freezer bag or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Squeeze all air out of bags, seal, and freeze together as a meal kit. You could also include a bag of frozen brown rice and stir fry veggies to complete the kit.

Prepare From Frozen: Thaw the salmon and marinade in the refrigerator or using the cool water method (submerge sealed freezer bags in cold water until thawed–only about 30 minutes). Then, prepare according to Steps 2-6.
