Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Irish whiskey
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)

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

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Irish whiskey, lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with the marinade. Reserve a small portion of the marinade for basting later.

Step 4

Let the salmon sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors of the marinade.

Step 5

Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and flake easily with a fork. About halfway through cooking, brush the reserved marinade over the fillets for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Garnish the fillets with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.

Step 8

Pair with roasted vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
