Ingredients
Scale
Salmon Fillets
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
Marinade
- 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
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to ensure the salmon doesn’t stick during baking.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and fresh lemon juice until all ingredients are well combined to create a balanced sweet and savory marinade.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish and pour the marinade evenly over them, making sure each fillet is fully coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors penetrate the fish.
- Bake the Salmon: Bake the marinated salmon in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness by testing if the salmon flakes easily with a fork, indicating it is cooked through but still moist.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a burst of color and fresh flavor. Serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- Use fresh salmon and high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes after baking to allow juices to redistribute, making the fish more succulent.
- Experiment by adding fresh herbs like dill or thyme into the marinade for additional depth of flavor.
- Adjust cooking times depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets to avoid overcooking.
