Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large, minced garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cut into wedges lemon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined to make the glaze.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on a lined baking sheet. Lightly season the salmon with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Step 4
Brush the honey garlic glaze evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring each fillet is fully coated.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side up, and sear for about 2 minutes to create a slight crust.
Step 6
Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the salmon rest for a minute. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Step 8
Serve the honey garlic glazed salmon with lemon wedges on the side, for extra tanginess.
