Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic, honey, and soy sauce. Whisk together and let it simmer for about 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Pour the warm honey glaze over the salmon fillets, reserving some for finishing touches.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Spoon any remaining glaze over the salmon and broil for 1-2 minutes if desired for a caramelized finish. Serve immediately.

Notes

Let the salmon sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before baking for even cooking. Adding a splash of lemon juice before serving can enhance flavor.
