Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 1/4 cup limoncello
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or dill)
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the limoncello, honey, and fresh lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the minced garlic.
3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
4. Bake the salmon for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and brush each fillet with limoncello glaze.
5. Return the salmon to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
6. Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Helpful Tips

• For an extra burst of lemon flavor, add some lemon zest to the glaze mixture.
• If you prefer a slightly charred glaze, broil the salmon for the last 2-3 minutes.

Storage Instructions and Ingredient Substitutions

Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can substitute maple syrup for honey if desired. If limoncello is unavailable, use a combination of lemon juice and a bit of sugar.

Pairings

Pair this Limoncello Glazed Salmon with roasted asparagus or a fresh arugula salad for a delightful, balanced meal. A chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc or a sparkling water with a splash of lemon will complement the flavors beautifully.
