1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
2

Place the 4 salmon fillets fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each fillet.

Brush the glaze generously over each salmon fillets fillet, making sure to coat the tops and sides.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness. For fully cooked salmon, the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C), or 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.

The glaze should be caramelized and slightly bubbling when done. If desired, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes to further caramelize the glaze.
7

Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
