Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, garlic powder, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Using a pastry brush or spoon, spread the marinade evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.

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 internal temperature should read 145°F (63°C) if using a meat thermometer.
