Before diving into the recipe, it is crucial to preheat your oven. Preheating ensures that your salmon bakes evenly and achieves the optimal texture you desire. When you place food in a preheated oven, it begins cooking immediately, allowing the exterior to sear and lock in moisture while ensuring the interior cooks thoroughly. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and give it at least 10-15 minutes to reach this temperature before you place your salmon inside. This simple yet essential step will elevate your dish from good to great.

Ingredients
  

4 (6 oz) salmon fillets

1/4 cup honey

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and lemon juice until well combined.

      Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and pepper.

        Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish. Pour the honey garlic marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes for optimal flavor.

          Bake the Salmon: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

            Serve: Once baked, carefully remove the salmon from the oven. Drizzle any remaining marinade from the baking dish over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.

              Enjoy: This dish pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your delightful honey garlic baked salmon!
