Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

For the marinade

1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil

For the salmon

4 pieces salmon fillets
to taste Salt
to taste Pepper

Optional garnish

as needed chopped green onions
as needed sesame seeds

Method

Preparation

In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and olive oil. Whisk until well blended.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag, and pour the marinade over them. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to soak in the flavors.

Cooking

While the salmon is marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Arrange the marinated salmon on the baking sheet and pour any remaining marinade over the top.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is flaky and cooked through.

Serving

Once baked, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

Don't overcook the salmon. Aim for a temperature of 145°F (63°C) to ensure it's perfectly done. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
