Although it’s got soy sauce in – which makes it feel a little Asian-inspired – it’s quite a delicate flavor. This means you don’t have to stick with Chinese noodles/rice/stir-fry veg to serve it with.

How to Make Honey Garlic Salmon

The first step is to make the yummy marinade. Mix together all the ingredients in the bowl. Add the salmon to a bowl or bowl and the pour over half the marinade. Cover and let it sit for a bit to work its magic.

Once the salmon is done marinating. Place it on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes and then brush on more marinade. Put it back in the oven for another 8 minutes. Quick and easy!
