Instructions

Stir the honey and soy sauce (or liquid aminos or coconut aminos) in a small bowl and set aside until ready to use. Note: if the honey is hard or crystallized, microwave it for 10 to 20 seconds, or until it softens up enough to stir.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly spray a casserole dish or baking sheet with cooking oil. Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Lightly coat the salmon filets with avocado oil or olive oil so that all of the flesh has a nice coat of coil.
Sprinkle salmon with sea salt, garlic powder, and paprika.
Bake salmon on one of the shelves that’s near the bottom (I do the second closest to the bottom) for 10 minutes (this ensures the salmon skin side gets crispy).
Move one of the oven racks to the second to the top (if there isn’t one there already) and change the oven to the High Broil setting. Broil for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the salmon is nice and crispy on top.
Remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle with half of the glaze. Broil for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the glaze is slightly bubbly.
Allow the salmon to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle the remaining glaze on top of the salmon. Sprinkle with chopped green onion and sesame seeds if desired. Serve with fresh lemon slices or lemon wedges so that you may drizzle the honey garlic salmon with lemon juice if you'd like.
Serve Soy Honey Salmon with your choice of side dishes for a complete meal, and enjoy.

Notes

Salmon is considered fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. To check the temperature, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the salmon and wait until the numbers stop moving to get your accurate read. The total bake time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish and the temperature of the salmon before it goes into the oven.
