Ingredients
– 4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each)
– 1/4 cup honey
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
– 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your own Honey Garlic Salmon:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice until well combined.
3. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for more flavor).
4. Bake the Salmon: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Transfer the marinated salmon fillets to the baking sheet, skin side down.
5. Drizzle Remaining Marinade: Pour any remaining marinade over the top of the salmon fillets.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.
7. Broil for Extra Glaze (Optional): For an extra caramelized finish, switch to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
8. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and garnish with sliced green onions.
9. Serve: Plate the salmon and drizzle any remaining sauce from the baking sheet over the top.
