The Best Easy Christmas Salmon: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound salmon fillet
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  3. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Place the Salmon: Put the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
  5. Apply the Glaze: Brush half of the glaze mixture over the top of the salmon, ensuring it is evenly coated.
  6. Bake the Salmon: Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
  7. Broil for Extra Color: If desired, turn the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze slightly.
  8. Remove from Oven: Carefully remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Drizzle the remaining glaze over the salmon, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
