Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon fillets, 6 oz each
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions:

  1. Remove salmon fillets from the refrigerator and let them sit for 15 minutes to reach room temperature.
  2. Pat the fillets completely dry with paper towels.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Lightly brush the parchment with olive oil and season the fillets with salt and pepper.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes until the sugar is dissolved.
  6. Place fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush half of the glaze over the top of each fillet.
  7. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until edges are opaque but the center remains slightly translucent.
  8. Brush the remaining glaze over the fish and broil for 1-2 minutes until the glaze bubbles and turns deep mahogany brown.
