- 4 salmon fillets
Honey Glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the salmon to a perfectly cooked flaky texture.
- Prepare Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until well combined to create the flavorful glaze.
- Arrange Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a single layer in a baking dish, ensuring even spacing for uniform cooking.
- Apply Glaze: Pour the honey mixture evenly over the salmon, making sure each fillet is thoroughly coated to infuse the flavors.
- Season and Oil: Drizzle olive oil over the glazed salmon and season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences for enhanced flavor and moisture.
- Bake Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through, flaky, and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice, to complete the meal.
Notes
- Ensure the salmon fillets are of even thickness for consistent cooking.
- For a caramelized finish, broil the salmon for the last 2 minutes of baking.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content if desired.
- Leftover salmon can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- Pair with fresh lemon wedges for added brightness.
