Servings: 4

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

- 4 salmon fillets

- 1/4 cup soy sauce

- 2 tbsp honey

- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

- 1/2 cup milk

- 2 tbsp butter

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 1 onion, diced

- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- 1 tsp thyme

- 1 tsp oregano

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce and honey. Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish and brush them with the honey soy mixture. Let them marinate while you prepare the rest of the dish.

5. Place the marinated salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

6. While the salmon is baking, cook the onion and garlic mixture until fragrant, then set aside.

7. Serve the baked honey soy glazed salmon over a bed of sweet potato mash. Top with the sautéed onion and garlic mixture.

8. Optional: Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
