Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Feel free to substitute the soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option, or use maple syrup instead of honey for a different kind of sweetness. My kitchen is a place where flexibility is key, just as my grandmother taught me.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and lemon juice. This mixture will serve as your glaze.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets and season with salt and pepper.
- Brush the honey-garlic glaze generously over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Remember, cooking is about intuition. If your salmon is thinner, check for doneness a bit earlier. This philosophy of using your senses is something I learned from my abuela, who never needed a timer.
