Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon steaks (about 1-inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Pat the salmon steaks dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, soy sauce, honey, ground black pepper, salt, and paprika until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the marinade evenly over the salmon steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Let the salmon sit in the marinade for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 5
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the steaks.
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Optional: Garnish with fresh dill for added flavor and presentation. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
