Honey Garlic Salmon Recipe
Ingredients
- Salmon fillets: 4 (about 6 oz each)
- Honey: 1/4 cup
- Soy sauce: 1/4 cup (low-sodium preferred)
- Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- Ginger: 1 teaspoon, minced (optional)
- Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed)
- Salt and pepper: to taste
- Sesame seeds: for garnish (optional)
- Green onions: chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger (if using), olive oil, and lemon juice.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring the fillets are well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the Salmon: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Reserve the marinade for later.
- Bake: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Make the Glaze: While the salmon is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Glaze the Salmon: Once the salmon is cooked, brush the thickened marinade over the fillets.
- Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as rice, quinoa, or steamed vegetables.
