Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fresh salmon fillets rich in omega-3s and cooks quickly
- 3 tablespoons Honey adds natural sweetness and helps create a glossy glaze
- 2-3 cloves Garlic cloves boosts flavor and supports immunity
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce brings umami and balances the sweetness
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil helps the glaze coat the fish and keeps it moist
- 1 pinch Salt enhances overall flavor
- to taste none Pepper adds mild heat and depth
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together honey, minced garlic cloves, soy sauce, olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a few cracks of black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in a baking dish and pour the honey garlic mixture evenly over the top, making sure the fillets are well coated.
Cooking
- Bake the salmon for about 12–15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and the flesh is opaque throughout.
Serving
- Serve warm and enjoy your healthy, flavorful meal!
Notes
Pat the salmon dry before applying the glaze so the sauce sticks and the fish roasts rather than steams. If your honey is very thick, warm it slightly in the microwave before mixing. Watch the oven during the last few minutes to avoid burning the honey; if it starts to brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil. For extra brightness, finish with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of chopped parsley or green onions just before serving.
