Ingredients

Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

Honey Garlic Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Garnish

  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: Lemon slices for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  3. Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  4. Apply Glaze: Brush the glaze generously over each salmon fillet, making sure they are fully coated for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake Salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  6. Broil for Finish: For a caramelized finish, switch your oven to broil and broil the salmon for 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and optional lemon slices. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture.
  • Keep an eye on the salmon during broiling to prevent overcooking or burning.
  • Adjust the honey and soy sauce quantities according to your sweetness and saltiness preferences.
  • This recipe pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
