Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Marinade
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prepare for the salmon.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice until well combined to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the baking dish and pour the marinade evenly over them, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Bake the Salmon: Bake the marinated salmon in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh salmon and high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
- Let the salmon rest a few minutes after baking to redistribute juices for a moist bite.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like dill or thyme to the marinade for additional flavor depth.
- Adjust baking time according to the thickness of the salmon fillets to avoid overcooking.
- Serve with sides such as roasted vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, or fresh salad to complement the dish.
- Consider pairing with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay.
