Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (approx. 150g each)
- 1 pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- Juice of 1 orange (approx. 100ml)
- 1 tsp grated orange zest
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp finely chopped garlic
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and season generously with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, mix together honey, Dijon mustard, orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, and chopped garlic until well combined.
- Generously brush the glaze over the salmon fillets.
- Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest briefly.
- Serve on a platter and drizzle with any remaining glaze. Garnish with fresh herbs or orange slices if desired.
Notes
You can prepare the glaze a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. For a quicker option, cook the salmon in an air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 8-10 minutes.
