  Full Recipe:

 Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

• ¼ cup honey

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• Pinch of salt

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• Optional: red pepper flakes for heat

• Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

 Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice until well combined.

3. Prepare the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the glaze generously over each fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.

4. Bake the Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

5. Optional Broiling: For a caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
