Ingredients
1 ½ lbs salmon fillet (skin-on or skinless)

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp melted butter (or olive oil)
½ tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

2️⃣ Prepare the Sauce – In a small bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, butter, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3️⃣ Coat the Salmon – Place the salmon fillet in the center of the foil. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the top, making sure it’s evenly coated.
4️⃣ Seal & Bake – Fold the foil over the salmon and seal the edges to create a packet. Bake for 15-18 minutes, depending on thickness.
5️⃣ Broil for a Glaze – Open the foil and broil for 2-3 minutes for a golden, caramelized top.
6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy! – Garnish with parsley and lemon slices. Serve with rice, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad!
