Ingredients
4 pieces salmon fillets (7 oz each)
2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
½ cup salted butter (or olive oil)
5 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce (or Tamari for gluten-free)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
-
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter, soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth and simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Arrange the salmon fillets on the baking sheet. Season with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Pour the glaze over the salmon, ensuring it's well coated.
-
Bake the salmon for 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Spoon any remaining glaze over the salmon before serving.
Notes
-
Grilled Honey Glazed Salmon: For a smoky flavor, grill the salmon instead of baking it.
-
Low-Carb Option: Use olive oil instead of butter to keep the recipe lighter.
-
Spicy Twist: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or some sriracha to the glaze for a spicy kick.
