Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces lemon slices (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel, then season each side with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the salmon fillets, skin-side up, for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes, skin-side down.

Step 5

Transfer the seared salmon fillets to the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.

Step 6

Brush the tops of the salmon generously with the honey glaze, ensuring even coverage.

Step 7

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the salmon from the oven and optionally sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 9

Serve the honey glazed salmon fillets with lemon slices on the side, along with your favorite accompaniments such as rice, salad, or steamed vegetables.
