Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. This will be your glaze.

Pour the honey garlic glaze over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Cooking

If you have leftovers, let the salmon cool to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
