Make this simple sheet pan salmon with a honey garlic butter glaze. This recipe delivers tender, flaky fish quickly, perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each fillet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, pepper, and salt until well combined. This creates your glaze.
  4. Spoon the honey garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
  5. Arrange two or three thin lemon slices on top of each fillet.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time depends on the thickness of your fillets.
  7. Remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley, if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a crispier top, you can briefly switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • If you are interested in other quick dinner solutions, look into meal planning services to save time during the week.
  • This recipe works well for meal planning; leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to two days.
