Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a casserole dish, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, garlic powder, grated ginger, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Add the salmon to the dish, turning it a few times to coat it in the glaze. Cover and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, turning halfway through.
Cooking
  1. Place the uncovered dish in the oven and bake for 12–20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon fillet and your preferred doneness.
  2. Halfway through baking, baste the salmon with the pan juices to keep it moist and evenly glazed.
  3. Once the salmon reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the oven and baste again before serving.
