Description
Juicy, tender salmon fillets baked with a sweet-savory garlic butter glaze of honey and soy sauce. A quick, flavorful dinner ready in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp salted butter (or olive oil)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 4 salmon fillets (5–7 oz each)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter, garlic, honey, and soy sauce. Whisk and simmer for 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour the glaze evenly over the fillets.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Spoon any leftover glaze from the pan over the fillets before serving.
Notes
- Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for a spicier glaze.
- Maple syrup or agave can be used instead of honey.
- Stir in lemon or lime juice for brightness or Dijon mustard for a tangy twist.
- Use a thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Great served with rice, steamed vegetables, or salads.
