Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine salted butter (or olive oil), soy sauce (or tamari), honey, and minced garlic in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk until combined and let simmer for about 3 minutes.
Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and season with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Pour the glaze over the seasoned salmon, ensuring each piece is well-covered.
Bake the salmon for about 12 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork.
Let the salmon rest for a minute then spoon any remaining glaze over the top. Serve with steamed vegetables or rice.
