Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)

• 1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

3. Marinate Salmon:

5. Bake Salmon:

   • For an extra char on top, you can broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes after baking. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
7. Garnish and Serve:

Note:

Adjust the amount of jerk seasoning based on your spice preference. You can also grill the salmon instead of baking for a smokier flavor. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a refreshing salad for a well-balanced meal.
