LET’S MAKE SOMETHING GOOD

The method

  1. 01

    Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet and arrange the salmon skin-side down.

  2. 02

    Whisk hot honey and lemon juice together; reserve half in a separate clean bowl. Rub fish with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  3. 03

    Brush with the non-reserved glaze and add lemon slices around the fish.

  4. 04

    Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness, until the thickest part reaches 145°F (63°C). Continue baking if needed.
