- 1-1.5 lbs salmon one fillet or portions
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 6 cloves garlic minced
Serving - optional
- green onion minced
- sesame seeds
Preheat oven to 350°F and set a rack in the middle of the oven.
Line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper. Optional: spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce and minced garlic.
Place the salmon skin-side down on the parchment.
Pour the honey garlic mixture evenly over the salmon. (Optional: place another piece of parchment on top and tuck the edges underneath the salmon.)
Bake for 15-25 minutes depending on the salmon thickness (see note), spooning with pan juices halfway through. Serve and enjoy!
- Baking time will be longer for thicker salmon pieces, and shorter for thinner end pieces. Bake for about 5-7 minutes per 1/2-inch of salmon thickness.
