Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice until well combined.
Step 3: Place the salmon fillets in the baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Let the salmon marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5: Remove the salmon from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh salmon and high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
Let the salmon rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute.
Try adding fresh herbs like dill or thyme to the marinade for extra flavor.
Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets to avoid overcooking.
Add red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the marinade for a spicy kick.

Storage

Store leftover baked salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in the oven at a low temperature or in the microwave to maintain moisture without drying out.
