Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 fillets coho salmon fillets Ensure they are fresh and pin bones are removed.
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Don't skimp on the garlic!
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Optional, for added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil for easier cleanup.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and melted butter.
  5. Pour the glaze over the salmon evenly.
Cooking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  2. Watch closely at the end to avoid overcooking.
Serving
  1. If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley over the cooked salmon for color before serving.
  2. Serve directly from the pan; leftovers are also delicious cold.

Notes

For best results, let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes after baking. The glaze can be brushed on again halfway through cooking for extra flavor. Avoid drowning the salmon in sauce; let the coho shine.
