Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 279kcal
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets 6 ounces each, skin on
- 1 ½ tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with a sheet of parchment paper (or foil) for easy clean up.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard and minced garlic.
- Place salmon, skin side down, in the prepared baking dish. Reserve ½ of the sauce in a clean dish and brush/spoon the remaining ½ of the sauce over the salmon.
- Bake for 12 minutes and then brush on the remaining sauce. Bake 2-8 more minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking. When it's done, the salmon should flake easily with a fork. Thicker salmon fillets will take longer to cook through than thinner salmon fillets. (The FDA recommends an internal temperature of 145° F for salmon, but some prefer it cooked to 125-130° F, then rest for 3 minutes before serving.)

Notes
- You can swap the glaze for my Salmon Seasoning if you prefer a dry rub. Just rub the seasoning over the fish before baking.
