# What You’ll Need to Make This:
→ Salmon Fillets
01 -
4 salmon fillets, approximately 200 grams each
02 -
2 teaspoons sea salt
03 -
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
04 -
2 teaspoons garlic powder
→ Honey Glaze
05 -
115 grams salted butter or olive oil
06 -
5 cloves fresh garlic, minced
07 -
120 millilitres honey
08 -
60 millilitres soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free option
# How to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminium foil to facilitate cleanup.
02 -
Combine butter, minced garlic, honey, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk until smooth, then simmer for 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
03 -
Arrange salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Season evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
04 -
Pour the prepared honey glaze generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring even coating.
05 -
Place salmon in the oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
06 -
Spoon any remaining pan sauce over the baked salmon for added flavor. Serve immediately.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For consistent results, select salmon fillets of similar thickness to promote even cooking.
02 -
Fresh garlic delivers a more pronounced flavor compared to pre-minced varieties.
03 -
Adjust baking time based on the thickness of your fillets and desired doneness; an instant-read thermometer should register 63°C at the thickest part.
04 -
If the glaze is too thick, whisk in a tablespoon of hot water. If too thin, simmer longer or add a cornstarch slurry.
05 -
Prevent the glaze from burning by cooking it gently and stirring frequently; avoid high heat.
06 -
Salmon reheats best in the oven or air fryer for even texture; avoid overcooking during reheating.
