- In a measuring cup with a spout or mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, soy sauce, honey, Dijon, garlic powder, and black pepper.

- Cook the salmon, using your preferred method. OVEN: Bake at 400°F for 11 to 14 minutes for 6-ounce fillets or 15 to 18 minutes for a single side, until the salmon registers 135°F.
- GRILL: Place the salmon skin-side down on a HOT grill, cooking without disturbing for about 6 to 7 minutes, then flip and cook for 2 to 4 minutes more.
- Remove to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
