- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the salmon skin-side down. Brush with the honey glaze.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- For grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high and cook salmon skin-side down for 6-8 minutes per side, basting with glaze.
