Ingredients
Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (0.5 lb each)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Honey Citrus Glaze
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh or ground ginger
For Serving
- Lemon and orange slices
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with foil to prepare for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Season each fillet with salt and black pepper.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, fresh orange juice, lemon juice, and ginger until well combined. Pour this flavorful mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
- Add Citrus Slices: Place lemon and orange slices on top of each salmon fillet to infuse extra citrus aroma and flavor during baking.
- Bake and Broil: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven at 350°F for 15 minutes. Then, switch the oven to broil and cook the salmon for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the tops are golden and crispy, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve the salmon immediately, garnished with extra lemon and orange slices if desired. Enjoy your beautifully glazed honey citrus salmon!
Notes
- Ensure the salmon is patted dry to help the glaze adhere better and to promote even cooking.
- Use fresh citrus juices for the best bright flavor; bottled juices may alter the taste.
- Watch the salmon closely during broiling to prevent burning; broil time may vary depending on your oven.
- For a lower sodium version, use low-sodium soy sauce.
- This recipe pairs well with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a balanced meal.
