Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 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 prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and fresh lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish and pour the marinade evenly over them, making sure each fillet is thoroughly coated. Let the salmon marinate for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Bake the Salmon: Bake the marinated salmon in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, indicating it is fully cooked but still moist.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the baked salmon from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for color and added freshness before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality salmon and olive oil for optimal flavor.
- Allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes after baking to let the juices redistribute, enhancing tenderness.
- You can add fresh herbs such as dill or thyme to the marinade for a different flavor profile.
- Adjust baking time depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets to avoid overcooking.
- Serve with lemon wedges and sides like roasted vegetables or garlic mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
