Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and ground black pepper to make the glaze.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
Brush the glaze generously over each fillet, making sure they are evenly coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Optionally, sprinkle chopped parsley over the salmon for a fresh garnish before serving.
Serve the glazed salmon warm with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
