Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on or skinless
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
  • Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and generously brush each fillet with the honey garlic butter mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Optionally, broil for an additional 1–2 minutes to achieve a more caramelized top.

 

  • Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Keep an eye on the salmon during broiling to prevent burning.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic or honey based on your preferred flavor balance.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or a light salad.
