Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons green onions
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and lemon juice.
Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger, then add both to the honey mixture along with the olive oil. Stir well to combine.
Season the salmon fillets with black pepper and salt, then place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the honey glaze generously over each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
For an optional crispy finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two.
Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy your low-fat honey glazed salmon with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables or a green salad.
