Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs salmon fillet, skin-on or skinless

  • ¼ cup butter, melted

  • 3 tbsp honey

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (adds a rich umami flavor!)

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp paprika (for color and flavor)

  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

  • Lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven & Foil Packet

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, leaving enough overhang to wrap around the salmon.

Step 2: Make the Honey Garlic Butter Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together:

    • Melted butter

    • Honey

    • Minced garlic

    • Lemon juice

    • Soy sauce

    • Dijon mustard

    • Salt, pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes

  2. Stir until well combined and set aside.

Step 3: Season & Coat the Salmon

  1. Place the salmon fillet in the center of the foil (skin-side down if using skin-on).

  2. Pour the honey garlic butter sauce evenly over the salmon.

  3. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and add a few lemon slices on top.

Step 4: Wrap & Bake

  1. Fold the foil over the salmon and seal it tightly to create a packet.

  2. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, depending on the thickness of your salmon.

Step 5: Broil for a Golden Finish (Optional)

  1. Carefully open the foil and broil the salmon for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the top.

  2. Watch closely to avoid burning!

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!
