Description

This Best Ever Baked Salmon recipe features tender salmon fillets glazed with a flavorful mix of soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and garlic. Baked to perfection in the oven, it offers a simple yet delicious way to enjoy a healthy and satisfying main course.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Glaze

  • 4 salmon fillets, 6 ounces each, skin on
  • 1 ½ tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Bring Salmon to Room Temperature: Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature while you prepare the other ingredients to ensure even cooking.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 400° F. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  3. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until fully combined.
  4. Prepare Salmon for Baking: Place the salmon fillets skin side down in the prepared baking dish. Reserve half of the glaze in a clean dish, then brush or spoon the remaining half over the top of the salmon evenly.
  5. Bake the Salmon: Bake the salmon for 12 minutes in the oven. After 12 minutes, brush on the remaining half of the glaze over the fillets.
  6. Finish Baking: Continue baking for another 8 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Thicker fillets may require extra time. For food safety, cook until an internal temperature of 145° F is reached, or for a medium-rare preferred doneness, cook to 125-130° F and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can swap the glaze for a dry rub using your favorite salmon seasoning if you prefer less sauce.
  • Use parchment paper or foil to line the baking dish for easier cleanup.
  • Allowing the salmon to sit at room temperature before baking ensures a more even cook.
  • Adjust baking time according to the thickness of the salmon fillets.
  • Check for doneness by seeing if the salmon flakes easily with a fork or using a food thermometer.
