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, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

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. Place them 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 bowl, whisk together the honey, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until fully combined.
  5. Spoon the glaze mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius). Cooking time depends on the thickness of your fillets.
  7. Serve immediately. This is a great healthy salmon meal idea.

Notes

  • For extra crispy edges, place the salmon under the broiler for the last 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning the glaze.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • If you prefer a lemon herb salmon flavor, substitute half the glaze ingredients with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of dried herbs like thyme or oregano.
