Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon slices (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel, then season each side with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the salmon fillets, skin-side up, for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes, skin-side down.
Transfer the seared salmon fillets to the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
Brush the tops of the salmon generously with the honey glaze, ensuring even coverage.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and optionally sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve the honey glazed salmon fillets with lemon slices on the side, along with your favorite accompaniments such as rice, salad, or steamed vegetables.
