3 Ingredient Honey Soy Salmon

As far as salmon goes, this has to be the easiest recipe for salmon I have ever done. There are just three ingredients, including the salmon, and it makes for a super delicate, beautifully flavored and baked fish. As a lover of salmon, this is one of my favorite ways to have it.
This salmon comes together in about 3 minutes of prep time, then cooks in 30 minutes in the oven, giving you plenty of time to make any sides for the meal. Literally, I can put this salmon together in absolutely no time.

Ingredients
  

  • 2-2 1/2 lb salmon whole
  • 2/3 cup soy sauce low sodium if desired
  • 1/3 cup honey

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Place the salmon into a large baking dish, making sure it is not folding over itself.
  2. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce and honey, mixing well. Pour this over the salmon and rub it with your hands to make sure it is well coated.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven until the salmon is just cooked through and flaky when pricked with a fork.
