Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

  • 3 tablespoons honey

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

  • Optional garnish: lemon slices, parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with foil or parchment paper.

  2. Prepare marinade: In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice.

  3. Season salmon: Place salmon fillets in the dish, skin-side down. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Coat & bake: Pour the honey mixture over the fillets. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

  5. Broil for caramelization (optional): Turn on broiler for 2–3 minutes for a golden glaze on top.

  6. Garnish & serve: Top with lemon slices and fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For best flavor, marinate the salmon for 15–30 minutes before baking.

  • Use wild-caught salmon for richer taste and better texture.

  • Pair with roasted asparagus, rice, or mashed potatoes.
