  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or greased with olive oil.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  3. Combine honey, hot sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
  4. Place the salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet and generously coat with the hot honey glaze.
