Honey-glazed salmon Recipe

American · Main course · 25 min total

This honey-glazed salmon is a quick and easy weeknight dinner that's both sweet and savory, with a sticky glaze that caramelizes beautifully in the oven.

Ingredients

• 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin on
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
• 2 green onions, sliced (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with the honey glaze.
4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. For extra glaze, brush with remaining glaze halfway through cooking.
5. Optional: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.

Tips

• Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 145°F (63°C) at the thickest part.
• Let salmon rest for 2 minutes after baking to allow glaze to set.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
