  • 1 teaspoongarlic powder
  • ½ teaspooncrushed red pepper
  • 4skin-on salmon fillets

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk 2 tablespoons each oil, soy sauce and mustard, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon each onion powder and garlic powder and ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper together in a small bowl until well combined.

  2. 2

    Place 4 (5-ounce) salmon fillets in a large zip-top plastic bag; pour in the marinade and gently shake the bag to coat the salmon. Press out as much air as possible before sealing the bag. Place the bag on a large plate; refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes.

    Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the salmon from the marinade; gently shake off excess marinade (discard marinade). Place the salmon, skin-sides down, on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt. Bake until slightly flaky and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 125°F, 9 to 10 minutes. Tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
