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 smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. This helps achieve a better texture. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper, if using. This creates your flavorful glaze.
  4. Brush about half of the glaze mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillets. Season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Bake the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the salmon is mostly cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Brush the remaining glaze over the salmon fillets.
  7. Return the salmon to the oven and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the glaze is slightly caramelized and the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Watch carefully to prevent burning the honey.
  8. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately. This pairs well with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For extra crispy edges, you can briefly place the salmon under the broiler for 1-2 minutes after the final bake, but watch it closely.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, increase the minced garlic to 3 cloves.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
