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 paprika
- For the Glaze:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. This helps achieve a better texture. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the salmon lightly with olive oil. Season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the honey, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, smoked paprika, onion powder, and minced garlic. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and just begins to simmer. Remove from heat immediately.
- Brush about half of the prepared glaze evenly over the tops of the seasoned salmon fillets.
- 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.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Brush the remaining glaze over the salmon fillets.
- Return the salmon to the oven and bake for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the glaze is slightly caramelized and the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
- Serve your perfect baked salmon immediately with your favorite sides.
Notes
- For extra crispy edges, you can briefly place the salmon under the broiler for the last minute, watching carefully to prevent burning the glaze.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze mixture.
- This recipe works well with both fresh and thawed frozen salmon fillets.
