Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 clove (minced) garlic
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) sesame seeds
• 1 stalk (sliced, for garnish) green onion

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, black pepper, and salt to create the glaze.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Brush the prepared glaze generously over the top and sides of the salmon fillets, reserving a small amount of glaze for later.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish easily flakes with a fork and is opaque in the center.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and carefully transfer it to serving plates.

Step 7

Drizzle the reserved glaze over the cooked salmon for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 8

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
