 Full Recipe:

 Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

• ¼ cup honey

• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• Lemon wedges, for serving

• Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped, for garnish

 Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, butter, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Continue to cook for 1–2 minutes until the glaze slightly thickens.

3. Season the salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down. Pat them dry with paper towels and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

4. Glaze the salmon: Generously brush the prepared glaze over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.

5. Bake the salmon: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. For a caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 2–3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

6. Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions and serve with lemon wedges.
