Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Season each fillet with salt and black pepper to taste.
Pour the honey glaze evenly over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are all well-coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
For a slightly caramelized finish, turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
