Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 optional for serving lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Using a brush or spoon, generously coat each salmon fillet with the honey mixture, ensuring it covers the top and sides evenly.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The glaze should be slightly caramelized and bubbling.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for a minute or two before serving.
Garnish the salmon with freshly chopped parsley and serve with optional lemon wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.
Enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Honey Glazed Salmon with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
