Ingredients

Scale

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1/4 cup raw honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and lemon juice until combined.
Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Transfer the marinated fillets to the baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining marinade and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
For added flavor, broil on high for an extra 1-2 minutes until caramelized.
Serve garnished with sliced green onions alongside steamed veggies or rice.
