Honey Baked Salmon

We had never intended to post this Honey Baked Salmon recipe, but we loved it so much that we just HAD to share it.  Our family loves our Calamansi Salmon recipe too, but this one just might top it.

Honey Baked Salmon

the juice of 1 fresh lemon (1-2 Tbs.)

3-4 Tbs. honey

3 large garlic cloves, finely minced

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground ginger (or more if you like ginger)

1 pound wild caught pacific salmon fillet

1 Tbs. olive oil

In a small bowl, whisk together juice, honey, garlic, and seasonings for marinade/sauce.  Place salmon in a gallon size ziplock bag.   Pour marinade over the salmon, and press additional air out bag before sealing.  Marinate for 30 minutes. 

Preheat oven to 425*F.  Grease the bottom of an 8x10 baking dish with olive oil.  Arrange marinated salmon skin-side down on dish, making sure not to overlap pieces.  Pour remaining marinade over fillets.  Place dish on center rack of oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until salmon flakes with a fork.
