Steps

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper.
Place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate chips with olive oil over low heat until smooth.
Pour the chocolate glaze over the salmon fillet, spreading it evenly.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips for Chocolate-Glazed Salmon

The glaze should look glossy and cling to the fish; if it turns grainy, it may have overheated.
Salmon is ready when it flakes easily and looks opaque through the thickest part; check early to avoid drying it out.
Use a small saucepan and a thin spatula for easier glaze handling and serving.

Drink pairing

A dry rosé
Its crisp acidity and light berry notes complement the rich salmon and bittersweet chocolate.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the glaze may look less glossy after storage.
