# Ingredient List:

→ Salmon and Marinade

01 - 4 salmon fillets, fresh or thawed, approximately 6 ounces each
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
03 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
04 - 3 tablespoons soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos for gluten-free
05 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or yellow mustard
06 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 teaspoon smoked or regular paprika
08 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt, adjusted to taste
09 - 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
10 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or lime juice

→ Garnish

11 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly coat a baking dish with neutral oil to prevent adhesion.
02 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice until fully emulsified.
03 - Position salmon fillets in prepared baking dish and distribute marinade evenly across all pieces. Allow to rest at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
04 - Transfer baking dish to preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until salmon is opaque throughout and flakes readily when tested with a fork.
05 - Remove from oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately while warm.
