Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Lemon wedges (for serving)
• Fresh parsley or green onions (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and ginger (if using).

2. Marinate the Salmon:

   • Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure each fillet is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).

3. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

4. Bake the Salmon:

   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the sheet, skin side down. Reserve the marinade for later use.
   • Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.

5. Make the Glaze:

   • While the salmon is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

6. Serve:

   • Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the thickened glaze over the salmon fillets.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Pair your salmon with healthy sides, like broccoli, a side salad, or a rice dish.
