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
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 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 the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Sprinkle this seasoning mix evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.
  4. In another small bowl, prepare the glaze by whisking together the melted butter, honey, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and parsley until fully combined.
  5. Place the seasoned salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush half of the honey garlic butter glaze generously over the top of each fillet.
  6. Bake the salmon 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 immediately after removing them from the oven.
  8. Serve your perfectly baked salmon right away. This pairs well with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For extra crispy skin, place the salmon skin-side down on a wire rack set over the baking sheet before brushing with the initial glaze.
  • If you prefer a sweeter glaze, increase the honey by one teaspoon.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
