Full Recipe:
4 salmon fillets
¼ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking.
Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice until well combined.
Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure each fillet is thoroughly coated. For enhanced flavor, allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Bake the Salmon: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 15–20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon is done when it becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Optional Garnish: For added flavor and presentation, garnish the baked salmon with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
