2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
Fresh herbs (dill or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow to marinate for 15-30 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from oven and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
