Ingredients
- 4 fillets Fresh or thawed salmon (Look for firm, glossy flesh with a mild ocean scent.)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (Can be substituted with avocado oil.)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (Maple syrup is a great alternative.)
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce (Use tamari for gluten-free option.)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (Yellow mustard can work in a pinch.)
- 2 cloves Garlic (Minced.)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika (Smoked paprika adds deeper flavor.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (Adjust according to taste.)
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper (Freshly cracked.)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (Lime juice can be a substitute.)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley (Chopped for garnish.)
Instructions
- Preparation Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil a shallow baking dish.
- Mix Glaze In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust salt or lemon for balance.
- Prepare Salmon Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the prepared pan and brush each fillet generously with the glaze. Reserve a few tablespoons of glaze for basting mid-bake.
- Cook Bake for 10–14 minutes depending on thickness. Halfway through, baste with the reserved glaze.
- Broil and Rest For a caramelized top, switch to broil for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Sprinkle chopped parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon.
Notes
- Can substitute olive oil with avocado oil.
- Maple syrup is a great alternative to honey.
- Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
- Yellow mustard can be used if Dijon mustard is unavailable.
- Smoked paprika adds deeper flavor than regular paprika.
- Lime juice can substitute for lemon juice.
