This recipe is super easy and takes only 15 minutes to bake in the oven. It is flaky, flavorful, and perfect for weeknight dinners.

Honey Glazed Salmon

For me, there’s always something irresistible when it comes to anything Salmon. This recipe guarantees tender, flavorful and juicy salmon that you will definitely love!

The flavor is oh-so, it is a combination of buttery and garlicky with a touch of citrus and honey.

So, without further ado, let me tell you what ingredients I used to make this honey-glazed salmon and how I made it. I will also give you some helpful tips to consider when making the recipe.

Ingredients

Complete information on ingredients and quantities is in the recipe card at the end of the post.

Salmon fillets: I use fresh salmon fillets that weigh about 140 g each. I also like to Keep the skin on the salmon because it provides a layer between the salmon and the pan and keeps the salmon from overcooking.

Butter: It adds richness to this dish. You can replace it with olive oil or sesame oil.

Soy sauce: Use low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer a dish that is less salty.

Black pepper: I season the salmon with black pepper as it add a bit of spice without having to add too much heat to the dish.

Other ingredients I use: fresh garlic, lemon juice, honey.

Step-By-Step Instructions

One: Preheat oven to 220°C/430°F. Make sure to line a baking sheet with parchment pepper to avoid the dish from sticking to the middle of the pan.

Two: In a small saucepan, heat the butter and add the garlic; cook for 1 minute medium-high heat or until the garlic is brown.

Three: Add honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, simmer for about 3 minutes, and then turn off the heat.

Four: Now, place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet (skin side down), and spoon the honey glaze all over the salmon fillets (reserve some for topping).

Five: Cover the baking tray tightly with aluminum foil sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the salmon is cooked.

Tip: Make sure to bake the salmon wrapped in foil. This keeps locking in the moisture and results in a tender salmon baked to perfection.

Six: Brush the salmon fillets with the remaining sauce glaze, then serve!

My Helpful Tips

• If you have salmon fillets that are smaller in size, reduce the bake time by ten minutes and check if it’s done. If the fillet is still undercooked, you can pop it in the oven for another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Salmon is cooked when the flesh flakes off easily. You can do this by gently pressing your salmon fillet with a fork.
