- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Garnish
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC) to ensure it’s hot enough to cook the salmon evenly and develop a nice glaze.
- Melt the butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter gently, preparing the base for the glaze.
- Sautรฉ the garlic: Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sautรฉ until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Make the glaze: Stir in honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice into the butter and garlic mixture, combining well to create a luscious glaze.
- Season the salmon: Season the bite-sized salmon pieces evenly with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Combine salmon and glaze: Place the seasoned salmon pieces in a baking dish and pour the honey garlic mixture evenly over them, ensuring each piece is coated.
- Bake the salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley before serving to add freshness and color.
Notes
- Use fresh salmon for best flavor and texture.
- Watch the garlic closely when sautรฉing to avoid bitterness from burning.
- You can substitute soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free version.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
