Add the salmon to the Ziploc bag. Pour the marinade over the top. Shake the bag a few times to coat the salmon in the marinade. Let the salmon marinate for 15 minutes.

Once done marinating, place the salmon skin side down on a baking sheet. Reserve the marinade for later. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
