Ingredients

4, 6- ounce 1-inch-thick boneless, skinless salmon fillets
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup smooth unsalted peanut butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari sauce
1 tablespoon grated and peeled ginger
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar or white vinegar
½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with oil, or line it with foil; set aside.
Place the salmon into the baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, lemon juice, soy sauce, ginger, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil.
Spoon half of the peanut butter glaze on top of the salmon fillets and bake for 6-7 minutes.
Spoon the remaining glaze over the fillets and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.
Serve warm.

Notes

If the peanut butter sauce is too thick to spoon over the salmon, add 1 tablespoon of water and mix it in.
Skinless salmon is recommended. If the fillets still have the skin, place skin-side down into the baking pan.
You can use salted or unsalted creamy peanut butter, but if you use salted peanut butter, you'll want to use a low sodium soy sauce.
If you don't have rice wine vinegar, you can use white vinegar.
Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. You can also store cooked salmon in the freezer for up to 6 months. To reheat the fillets, place them on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven.
