- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Spoon or brush the honey mixture generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork. Check periodically to avoid overcooking.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top before serving.
- Serve immediately, paired with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in the honey-soy mixture for 30 minutes before baking. Don’t skip drying the salmon, and preheat your baking pan for the best results.
