Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Place a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the foil and spread it around to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Lay the salmon fillets skin-side down on the foil, leaving some space between each piece. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the fillets.

Step 5

Brush the honey mixture generously over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 6

Fold the sides of the foil up and over the salmon, sealing the packet well to trap in the steam. Make sure there is enough space inside the packet for the heat to circulate.

Step 7

Place the foil packet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Carefully open the foil to release the steam. If you prefer a slight crust, switch the oven to broil and place the salmon under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 9

Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
