Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a little heat)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. This helps achieve better texture. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Brush the tops of the salmon lightly with olive oil. Season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  4. Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and cayenne pepper, if using. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice.
  5. Spoon about two-thirds of the glaze evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets. Reserve the remaining glaze for serving.
  6. Bake the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. For extra color, you can briefly place it under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Remove the salmon from the oven. Drizzle the reserved glaze over each fillet before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For crispy skin, place the salmon skin-side down on a wire rack set over the baking sheet before baking.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, let the sauce simmer for an extra minute or two until it reduces slightly before brushing it on.
  • This salmon pairs wonderfully with creamy mashed potatoes or roasted asparagus for a complete, healthy dinner.
