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, garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice until well combined.
Step 3: Place the salmon fillets in the baking dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure each fillet is well coated. Let 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 oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh salmon and high-quality olive oil to enhance flavor.
Let the salmon rest for a few minutes after baking to keep it juicy.
Try adding fresh herbs like dill or thyme to the marinade for extra aroma.
Adjust baking time depending on fillet thickness to avoid overcooking.
For a spicy twist, add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the marinade.

Storage

Store leftover baked salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven at a low temperature or in the microwave to prevent drying out. For best texture, consume within 24 hours.
