Ingredients

• 4 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 1 optional for serving lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Using a brush or spoon, generously coat each salmon fillet with the honey mixture, ensuring it covers the top and sides evenly.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The glaze should be slightly caramelized and bubbling.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for a minute or two before serving.

Step 7

Garnish the salmon with freshly chopped parsley and serve with optional lemon wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.

Step 8

Enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Honey Glazed Salmon with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
