Of the dozens of salmon dishes I prepare, this one is consistently the family favorite! The marinade is sweet, salty and garlicy but doesn’t overpower the salmon. With minimal ingredients, this healthy meal will be on your table in 50 minutes, making it the perfect weekday dinner!

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2. Cut the salmon into portions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

3. Mince the clove of garlic.

4. In an 8×8 or 8×10 baking dish, stir together coconut aminos, honey, garlic and garlic powder. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary. (I find that the marinate is usually salty enough already.) Add a squeeze of lime if desired. (The acid provides a nice balance for the sweet and salty flavors.)

5. Place salmon flesh side down in the baking dish and allow it to marinate on the counter for 30 minutes. I like to flip the fish every 10 minutes so that all 3 skinless sides get a chance to sit in the marinade.

6. After 30 minutes, flip the salmon so that the skin side in down. Bake in the 400 degree oven for 12-14 minutes or until the salmon has reached your desired level of doneness. Enjoy!
