Ingredients
  

For the salmon
  • 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets cut into 4 portions (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the honey garlic glaze
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
For serving (optional)
  • Sliced green onions
  • Lemon wedges

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Start preheating while you prepare the salmon and glaze.
  2. Pat the salmon dry and check for pin bones. Arrange the fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, lemon juice, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard.
  4. Bake the salmon for 8 minutes.
  5. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and brush or spoon the honey-garlic glaze over the fillets.
  6. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 4–7 minutes more, until the thickest part of the largest fillet reaches 145°F on an instant-read thermometer and the fish separates easily with a fork. Thicker pieces may need a little longer. Garnish with green onions and lemon wedges, if desired, and serve right away.
