Dave's Marinated Salmon

I've made this recipe six or seven times in my toaster oven, and it makes for a great weekday meal. Tonight, I served it over a bed of watercress stir-fried with garlic and oil. It's my go-to salmon recipe, and I didn't even make any changes to it! Thank you to whoever Dave is!

3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallion
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 (1/2-lb) pieces center-cut salmon fillet with skin (1 inch thick)

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oil, lemon juice, garlic, scallion, ginger, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Add salmon, turning to coat, and marinate, covered, at cool room temperature 30 minutes.

Remove salmon from marinade, letting excess drip off, and discard marinade. Bake salmon, skin sides down, on baking sheet until just cooked through, about 20 minutes. Lift salmon from skin with a metal spatula and transfer to a plate (discard skin).
