Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice until well combined.
Step 3: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure each fillet is well coated. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh salmon and high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
Let the salmon rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute.
Add fresh herbs like dill or thyme to the marinade for extra depth of flavor.
Adjust baking time depending on the thickness of the fillets to prevent overcooking.
For a spicy twist, add red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the marinade.

Storage

Store leftover baked salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm it gently in the oven at a low temperature or in the microwave, being careful not to dry it out. Consuming it cold is also a tasty option for salads or sandwiches.
