Ingredients

• 4 Salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 Jalapenos (finely diced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 4 Lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Season the salmon fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper, and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Drizzle olive oil over the salmon and brush a generous amount of the honey jalapeno glaze over each fillet, ensuring even coverage.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is fully cooked through. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of your fillets.

Step 6

Optional: For a caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Serve immediately with optional lime wedges on the side for added zest. Pair with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
