Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 Jalapenos (finely diced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 4 Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lime juice, diced jalapenos, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
Season the salmon fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper, and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil over the salmon and brush a generous amount of the honey jalapeno glaze over each fillet, ensuring even coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is fully cooked through. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of your fillets.
Optional: For a caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with optional lime wedges on the side for added zest. Pair with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
