Method
Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Lightly oil a baking dish and pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and paprika, then place the fillets in the dish.
Melt the butter gently in a small pan, then stir in the honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Warm for 1 minute, just until fragrant.
Pour the warm honey garlic butter evenly over the fillets, letting it pool around them.
Roast low and slow for 15-18 minutes, until the salmon is almost cooked through and starting to flake.
Spoon some of the sauce from the dish back over the fillets.
Turn the oven up to 220°C (425°F) and roast for another 5-7 minutes, until the edges turn golden and glossy.
Rest for 2 minutes, then garnish with parsley and lemon slices.
Spoon the sticky pan sauce over the salmon and your sides before serving.

Tips & variations
Don't Overcook It
Salmon is done when it flakes easily and reaches about 52-55°C (125-130°F) inside. It will keep cooking a little as it rests.
Keep the Garlic Soft
Warm the garlic gently in the butter instead of frying it. This keeps it sweet and aromatic, never bitter or sharp.
Pat It Dry
Drying the fillets well helps the sauce cling to the fish and gives you those lovely golden edges.
Spicy Honey Garlic Salmon
Add a pinch of chili flakes or a teaspoon of sriracha to the sauce for a sweet-and-spicy kick.
Dairy-Free Version
Swap the butter for olive oil or a plant-based butter. The honey and garlic will still make a glossy, delicious sauce.

I pour warm butter, honey, and fresh garlic straight over the fillet, let it roast low and slow, then finish it hot so the edges turn golden and glossy. The sweetness balances the richness of the salmon, while the garlic stays soft and aromatic, never sharp. It's the kind of sauce that begs to be spooned over everything on the plate.
