Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with foil or parchment paper, lightly greased.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, then add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Whisk in honey, lemon juice, and soy sauce until smooth.
  3. Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the greased baking dish, leaving space between them. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Brush the honey garlic butter sauce evenly over each salmon fillet.
  5. Bake uncovered for 12–15 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
  6. Switch to broil and broil for an additional 2–3 minutes for a caramelized finish, watching closely to avoid burning.
  7. Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon juice before serving.
