Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon slices and parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil.
Place salmon fillets in the baking dish, skin-side down. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the honey mixture over the salmon, coating evenly.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until salmon is flaky and cooked through.
Optionally, broil for 2–3 minutes for a caramelized top.
Garnish with lemon slices and chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Use fresh wild-caught salmon for best flavor.
Add a pinch of chili flakes for a subtle kick.
Pairs beautifully with quinoa, steamed greens, or mashed potatoes.
