Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) Chopped fresh parsley
- 4 slices (for garnish) Slices of lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the glaze.
Brush the glaze evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the salmon fillets to serving plates and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices, if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
