Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 3 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil until well combined.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Season each fillet with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 4
Pour the honey glaze evenly over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are all well-coated.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 6
For a slightly caramelized finish, turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
