Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) fresh salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lemon juice, low sodium soy sauce, and olive oil until well combined.
Add minced garlic, ground black pepper, chopped rosemary, and lemon zest to the honey mixture and stir until incorporated.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Generously brush the honey glaze over each fillet, making sure they are well coated.
Allow the salmon to marinate with the glaze for about 5 minutes at room temperature.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
For an optional finishing touch, switch the oven to broil during the last minute of cooking to caramelize the glaze slightly, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon hot, garnished with extra rosemary or lemon slices for a fresh presentation if desired.
