Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, soy sauce, garlic, grain Dijon mustard, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread the glaze evenly over the fillets.
Add lemon slices between fillets if desired.
Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Use tongs to lift the fillets from the skin before serving.

Notes

Don’t skip the butter for this Soy Glazed Salmon — it balances the soy and creates a silky finish.

Use grain Dijon for texture and depth.

For a slightly thicker glaze, simmer the sauce for 3–4 minutes before brushing it on the salmon.

The salmon is ready when it flakes easily and reaches 145°F (63°C).
