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:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. This helps achieve better texture.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Prepare the glaze: In another small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, and minced garlic until well combined.
Spoon the glaze mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, spreading it to cover the surface.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized. For crispier edges, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. This salmon pairs well with roasted vegetables or rice.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the salmon after it comes out of the oven.
If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the glaze mixture in a small saucepan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes before brushing it onto the fish.
This recipe works well for achieving moist and tender salmon fillets.
