Honey Garlic Baked Salmon

Salmon fillets glazed with honey, garlic, and soy sauce and baked until caramelised. Rich in omega-3s, ready in 25 minutes, and naturally free of mammalian products.

What You Need

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Juice of ½ lemon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley or sesame seeds, to garnish

Method

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking dish with foil.
2. Whisk together honey, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, and lemon juice.
3. Season salmon with salt and pepper and place in the dish skin-side down.
4. Pour glaze over salmon, coating evenly.
5. Bake 12–15 minutes until salmon flakes easily. Broil the last 2 minutes for a caramelised top.
6. Garnish with parsley or sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

• Coconut aminos is a soy-free, slightly sweeter alternative that works beautifully in this glaze.
• Do not overbake — salmon should still look slightly translucent in the very centre when you pull it out.
