Description
A flavorful and nutritious honey-glazed salmon recipe perfect for holiday meals.
Ingredients
Salmon Fillet (about 1.5–2 pounds)
Honey (1/4 cup)
Soy Sauce (1/4 cup)
Dijon Mustard (1 tablespoon)
Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
Lemon Juice (from 1 lemon)
Chopped Fresh Parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lemon juice until well combined.
- Place your salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pour half of the glaze over the salmon, reserving the other half for later. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the salmon to the preheated oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Just a couple of minutes before the salmon is done, brush on the reserved glaze.
- Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top before serving.
Notes
Ensure the salmon is not overcooked for optimal tenderness. Marinating even briefly enhances flavor.
