Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 fillets Salmon Fillets Fresh, quality salmon is key for a delectable dinner experience.
For the Glaze
  • 1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce Adds savory depth without overpowering the fish; tamari is a great gluten-free option.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Provides moisture and richness; avocado oil works well for a higher smoke point.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Balances the savory flavors; maple syrup or agave nectar can be substituted if desired.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard Infuses a tangy kick; whole grain mustard can provide a unique texture and flavor.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Enhances the overall flavor profile beautifully; fresh minced garlic delivers the best taste.

Equipment

Method
 

How to Make Baked Salmon
  1. Start by removing the salmon fillets from the refrigerator. Allow them to sit for about 15 minutes, which ensures even cooking.
  2. While the salmon warms up, preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together low-sodium soy sauce, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. This fragrant glaze will infuse your salmon with incredible flavors.
  4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the prepared baking dish. Generously brush half of the glaze over each fillet, ensuring it’s evenly covered for that delicious flavor boost.
  5. Bake the salmon for 12 minutes, then carefully brush the remaining glaze on top to give it a beautiful caramelization.
  6. Keep baking for an additional 2-8 minutes, checking for doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145°F for safety, and the salmon should be flaky and tender.
  7. Once your time is up, use a fork to gently separate the salmon. It should flake easily, indicating it's perfectly cooked and ready to serve!
