A quick and easy honey garlic salmon recipe with a sticky glaze, perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillets (about 1-inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your skillet for pan-searing.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and ginger (if using) to create the glaze.
  4. For oven baking: Place salmon on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Spoon glaze over salmon and broil for 1-2 minutes until glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  5. For pan-searing: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon, skin-side down if applicable, for 4-5 minutes. Flip, reduce heat to medium, and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Spoon glaze over salmon during the last 2 minutes of cooking, allowing it to thicken and coat the fish.
  6. Salmon is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork or reaches an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.

Notes

  • For a crispier glaze, you can broil the salmon for the last minute or two, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • If your salmon fillets are thinner than 1 inch, reduce the cooking time accordingly.
  • Serve with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables like broccoli or asparagus.
  • Consider this recipe as a healthy seafood option for your meal planning.
