Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons green onions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and lemon juice.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger, then add both to the honey mixture along with the olive oil. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Season the salmon fillets with black pepper and salt, then place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Brush the honey glaze generously over each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating.

Step 6

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

For an optional crispy finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 8

Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two.

Step 9

Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy your low-fat honey glazed salmon with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables or a green salad.
