Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets Salmon 6 oz each
  • 3 tablespoons Butter Melted
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice Freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish
  • Lemon slices Optional, for serving

Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • Small bowl
  • whisk
  • Brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  4. Brush the glaze generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are fully coated for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. For an extra caramelized finish, broil the salmon for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
  7. Remove the salmon from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley and optional lemon slices. Serve immediately.
