Honey Garlic Salmon
320kcal
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds salmon fillet skin-on or skinless
- 0.33 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- 1 lemon sliced into rounds, for garnish
Equipment
- baking sheet
- saucepan
- oven
Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with paper towels and place it skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes (if using), and black pepper until a smooth marinade forms.
- Pour two-thirds of the sauce evenly over the salmon, using a spoon or brush to coat the entire surface of the fillet. Reserve the remaining sauce in the bowl.
- Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F when checked with an instant-read thermometer.
- While the salmon bakes, pour the reserved sauce into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle the reduced sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving immediately.
