Ingredients

4 salmon fillets
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 jalapeños, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and minced garlic.
Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes for best results.
Arrange the fillets: Lay the marinated salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the jalapeños: Top each piece of salmon with thin slices of jalapeño. Adjust the number of slices based on your heat preference.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes. Serve with fresh lemon wedges on the side.

This elegant dish pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad. Enjoy your Jalapeño Sweet Salmon Delight!
