Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. This step helps achieve crispier edges. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and dried parsley. This is your sweet and savory glaze.
  4. Brush the tops and sides of each salmon fillet generously with half of the glaze mixture.
  5. In a separate small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Sprinkle this seasoning mix evenly over the glazed salmon fillets.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. 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 mixture over the hot fillets.
  8. Serve immediately. This **perfect baked salmon** pairs well with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete **quick dinner idea**.

Notes

  • For **crispy skin salmon**, place the fillets skin-side down on a wire rack set over the baking sheet before glazing and baking.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, increase the minced garlic to 3 cloves.
  • This recipe is easily adaptable for **air fryer salmon**; cook at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
