Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Irish whiskey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Irish whiskey, lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with the marinade. Reserve a small portion of the marinade for basting later.
Let the salmon sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and flake easily with a fork. About halfway through cooking, brush the reserved marinade over the fillets for an extra layer of flavor.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish the fillets with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
Pair with roasted vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
