Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets, 6 ounces each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Instructions
 

  • Position an oven rack in the upper-middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Allow salmon to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Pat fillets completely dry with a paper towel. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, then season with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
  • Bake the salmon for 10-12 minutes, until mostly opaque.
  • Remove the salmon from the oven and turn the oven to BROIL (high). Spoon most of the glaze over the salmon fillets.
  • Return to the oven and broil for 2-4 minutes, watching closely until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.
  • Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with any remaining glaze.

Notes

Ensure your oven rack is positioned about 6-8 inches from the broiler element to prevent the honey glaze from burning.
