A delightful twist on the classic glazed salmon, this recipe combines the sweetness of honey with the umami of soy sauce for a flavorful dish.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps the glaze caramelize properly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Stir until well blended.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors meld together for a consistent glaze.
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the glaze generously over the salmon.
Line the baking sheet to make cleanup easier and prevent sticking.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, basting with the glaze halfway through.
Basting during baking enhances the flavor and keeps the salmon moist.
For a caramelized finish, broil the salmon for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Keep a close eye while broiling to prevent burning.
Garnish the salmon with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Adding garnishes not only enhances the flavor but also makes the dish visually appealing.
