Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, and black pepper to create the glaze.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Spoon half of the honey garlic glaze evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Remove the salmon from the oven. Brush the remaining glaze over the hot fish.
  7. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra caramelization, place the oven rack closer to the broiler and broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • This salmon reheats well. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute tamari for the soy sauce.
