Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large, minced garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cut into wedges lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined to make the glaze.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on a lined baking sheet. Lightly season the salmon with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Brush the honey garlic glaze evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring each fillet is fully coated.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side up, and sear for about 2 minutes to create a slight crust.
Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the salmon rest for a minute. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve the honey garlic glazed salmon with lemon wedges on the side, for extra tanginess.
