Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) Chopped fresh parsley
• 4 slices (for garnish) Slices of lemon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Brush the glaze evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

Carefully remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the salmon fillets to serving plates and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
