Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for simple cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. This step helps achieve better texture.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Sprinkle this seasoning mix evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
  5. Place the seasoned salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush half of the honey garlic butter glaze generously over the top of the fillets.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Remove the salmon from the oven. Brush the remaining glaze over the hot fillets.
  8. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispy edges, you can briefly place the salmon under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning the glaze.
  • This recipe works well with other quick-cooking vegetables like asparagus or green beans placed on the same baking sheet for a complete meal.
  • If you prefer a sweeter glaze, increase the honey by one teaspoon.
