Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for simple cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. This step helps you achieve better texture.
  3. Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  4. Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the honey, butter, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and smoked paprika. Stir constantly until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
  5. Brush about half of the glaze mixture evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. You are looking for a tender, flaky texture.
  7. Remove the salmon from the oven. Brush the remaining glaze over the hot fillets.
  8. Serve immediately. This quick dinner idea pairs well with roasted vegetables or rice.

Notes

  • For crispy skin salmon, place the fillets skin-side down and bake for the full time. You can also briefly broil for the last minute, watching closely to prevent burning the glaze.
  • If you want a bolder flavor, substitute the regular paprika with a bit more smoked paprika in both the seasoning and the glaze.
  • This recipe is perfect for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
