Ingredients
✓ 4 fillets Salmon (Use skin-on for a crispier texture.)
✓ 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (For cooking.)
✓ to taste Salt
✓ to taste Black Pepper
✓ 1/3 cup Honey (Can substitute with maple syrup.)
✓ 1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce (Coconut aminos are a gluten-free alternative.)
✓ 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice (Vinegar can work in a pinch.)
✓ 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard (Yellow mustard can be substituted.)
✓ 3 cloves Minced Garlic (Fresh garlic is preferred.)
✓ 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
✓ 1 pinch Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (Optional.)
✓ 2 tablespoons Water (For thinning the glaze.)
Instructions
✓ Preheat your oven to 400°F.
✓ Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets. Season them with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil on each side.
✓ In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and water to make the glaze.
✓ Place the salmon skin-side down in a baking dish. Spoon half of the glaze over them, ensuring they are well coated.
✓ Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is opaque and just pink inside. The skin should be crispy by now.
✓ Remove from oven and spoon the remaining glaze evenly over the top of each fillet.
Notes
Keep an eye on the cooking time as some varieties of salmon can be thicker than others. The skin should be crispy when done.
