Instructions

  • In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup honey and 2 Tbsp liquid aminos or soy sauce until combined. If the honey is hard or crystallized, microwave the honey (or the combined mixture) for 10–20 seconds, or until it softens enough to stir. Set the glaze aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place an oven rack in the lower third of the oven (about the second closest to the bottom). Lightly spray a baking sheet or casserole dish with cooking oil.
  • Arrange the 1 1/2 to 2 lbs salmon, cut into individual filets, in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet (place skin-side down if the fillets have skin).
  • Drizzle or brush the 1 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil over the salmon so each fillet has a light, even coating.
  • Evenly sprinkle the salmon with 1 1/2 tsp sea salt (or to taste), 2 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp paprika.
  • Bake on the lower oven shelf for 10 minutes.
  • Move an oven rack to the upper third of the oven (second from the top if available) and change the oven setting to Broil (High). Broil the salmon for 4–6 minutes, watching closely, until the tops are nicely browned and crisp.
  • Remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle or brush half of the prepared glaze evenly over the fillets. Return the salmon to the broiler and broil 1–2 minutes more, until the glaze is slightly bubbly and caramelized. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest at least 5 minutes. Drizzle the remaining glaze over the fillets just before serving.

Notes

Notes
Salmon is considered fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. To check the temperature, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the salmon and wait until the numbers stop moving to get your accurate read. The total bake time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish and the temperature of the salmon before it goes into the oven.
