1 large salmon filet

LET’S MAKE HONEY AND LEMON BAKED SALMON!
It is time to start cooking. So let’s go! First off, line a small baking sheet with tin foil and spray it with non stick cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Next, thinly slice your lemons and place in the center of your tray in a line. (the salmon will lay on top of this layer) With a filet knife, trim all of the bones from your salmon. The salmon I am used was fresh from Alaska and had quite a few bones in it.
Once the salmon is trimmed and ready to go, you can season it with a little salt and pepper, on both sides. Now place your salmon on top of the lemon slices. Time for the marinade. In a medium mixing bowl, add in butter, honey, garlic, thyme and oregano. Mix it all together and pour over top of your salmon. You can make a little rim with the tin foil around the salmon to prevent the marinade from going all over the baking tray.
Finally, bake the salmon for 20-25 minutes or until it reaches an internal temp of 145 degrees. For the last couple of minutes, broil your salmon to give it a little crispness. Garnish with parsley and serve with rice and enjoy! The marinade on this honey and lemon baked salmon is delicious. The best part is that this recipe is quick and easy. Try it this week!
