1
Whisk honey, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, shallot, 1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest together in a shallow baking dish. Add salmon fillets and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate until flavors combine, 15 minutes to 1 hour.

Transfer salmon fillets, with marinade, to the prepared baking sheet.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until salmon is just opaque in the center, about 15 minutes.

Serve salmon with some salad and sauce on top. Serve remaining sauce on the side. Garnish with lemon wedges.
