Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lb salmon fillet, skin on or off
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
Brush half of the glaze mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillet.
Bake the salmon for 12 minutes.
Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the remaining glaze mixture over the top.
Return the salmon to the oven and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove from the oven, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can place thin slices of lemon on top of the salmon before the final baking step.
If you prefer a slightly crispier top, briefly place the salmon under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
This salmon pairs well with steakhouse sides like mashed potatoes and green beans.
