Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb Salmon fillet skin on
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tsp Ginger minced
  • 3 Tbsp Butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1/4 Cup Honey
  • 1 tsp Thyme dried
  • 1/2 Lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° F and place a greased baking sheet inside.
  • Melt butter in a small pan over low heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and ginger root. Stir on low 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Remove the pan from heat and add the honey and dried thyme. Squeeze the lemon juice into the pan and mix well.
  • Pat the salmon fillet dry and then season the top (flesh side, not skin) with salt and pepper. Take the greased baking sheet out of the oven and place the fish on it skin side down.
  • Pour the honey butter mixture over the fish and use a basting brush to spread it around. Be sure to cover every part of the fish so that it doesn't dry out while baking.
  • Tent a piece of parchment paper over the fish so that it is not touching it (see tips). Bake at 375° F for 15 minutes. Be careful to not overcook it.
