Follow this simple recipe to make tender salmon fillets coated in a sticky, sweet, and savory honey garlic glaze. This dish cooks quickly, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ginger (if using), and black pepper to create the glaze.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush about half of the honey garlic glaze evenly over the top of each fillet.
  4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your salmon, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Remove the salmon from the oven. Brush the remaining glaze over the cooked fish. You can return it to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes if you prefer a thicker, more caramelized glaze, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  6. Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the salmon and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a pan-seared version, sear the salmon skin-side down in an oven-safe skillet for 4 minutes, flip, brush with half the glaze, and finish in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
  • To make the glaze thicker, simmer the sauce mixture on the stovetop over medium heat for 3 minutes until slightly reduced before applying it to the fish.
  • Serve this salmon with steamed broccoli, roasted asparagus, or white rice.
