Cooking Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a casserole dish with olive oil.
2. Pat the salmon fillets dry, removing any pin bones, then place them skin side down in the dish.
3. In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, olive oil, and brown sugar until smooth.
4. Add soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, honey, and minced garlic to the bowl, mixing well.
5. Season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and dried parsley, whisking until combined.
6. Spoon the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it’s well-coated and adding lemon wedges around.
7. Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes while the oven continues to heat.
8. Bake the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, basting halfway through.
9. Check for doneness, removing when the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
