Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillet
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil to create the marinade sauce.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides, and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the honey-soy marinade generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the marinade for basting later.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Baste the salmon with the reserved marinade halfway through cooking for added flavor.
Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Sprinkle the baked salmon with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
Enjoy your perfectly baked honey salmon with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal!
