Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, melted butter, honey, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Brush the marinade generously over the salmon fillets using a pastry brush, covering each piece evenly.

Step 5

If desired, place lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet for added flavor and presentation.

Step 6

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.

Remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the salmon for garnish and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a fresh salad.
