Ingredients

Scale

Salmon and Marinade

  • 4 fillets Salmon (Fresh or thawed salmon is best for rich Omega-3 benefits.)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Adds moisture and enhances flavor; avocado oil can be a suitable substitute.)
  • 2 tablespoons Honey (Balances flavors and helps in caramelization; feel free to swap it for maple syrup.)
  • 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce (Brings umami depth; tamari or coconut aminos can make it gluten-free.)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard (Adds a zesty tang to the mix; yellow mustard works as an alternative.)
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced (Fresh minced garlic provides the best aromatic flavor for this dish.)
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika (Incorporates mild heat and gorgeous color; opt for smoked paprika for extra richness.)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (Enhances all the flavors; adjust according to your taste preferences.)
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (Freshly cracked black pepper adds a delightful touch of spice.)
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (Brightens the dish with acidity; lime juice is a nice twist if preferred.)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped (Adds vibrancy and freshness as a finishing touch for your presentation.)

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or your preferred cooking oil to ensure the salmon doesn’t stick during baking.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice until well combined. This marinade will enhance the salmon’s flavor and help achieve a nice glaze.
  3. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish and pour the marinade evenly over them. Allow the salmon to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes so the flavors can infuse well into the fish.
  4. Bake the Salmon: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The marinade will caramelize slightly, adding a delicious glaze to the surface.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the baked salmon from the oven and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a burst of color and freshness. Serve warm with your choice of side dishes and enjoy a flavorful, healthy meal.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best aroma and flavor; garlic powder can be used in a pinch.
  • If preferred, smoked paprika can add a richer smoky taste to the dish.
  • Marinating time can be extended up to 30 minutes for more intense flavor, but avoid longer to prevent salmon from becoming mushy.
  • Pair the baked salmon with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
