Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil until smooth.
  3. Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the baking dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes.
