Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) parsley
- 4 for serving lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Brush the marinade generously over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are fully coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the salmon to serving plates, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
