Tired of bland salmon? Elevate your dinner with this honey glazed salmon. The sweet and garlicky sauce caramelizes beautifully, creating an explosion of flavor with every bite. Plus, the juicy, tender salmon is impossible to resist. And did we mention it’s ready in 20 minutes?
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Salted butter (or olive oil for a healthier option)
- Garlic cloves (minced) and garlic powder
- Honey
- Soy sauce (or Tamari for gluten-free)
- Salmon fillets (5-7 ounces each)
- Sea salt
- Black pepper (freshly ground)
Step by Step Instructions
1. Get Prepped. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. Craft your Glaze. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter, soy sauce, honey, and garlic. Whisk until smooth and let it simmer for 3 minutes – the sauce will thicken slightly.
3. Season and Glaze. Arrange salmon fillets on your prepared baking sheet. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour the luscious glaze over the salmon, making sure to coat it well.
Note: Skip pre-marinating – the caramelized sauce and seasoning add plenty of flavor to your honey glazed salmon.
4. Bake the Salmon. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily. Give those fillets extra shine! Spoon any pan sauce over the salmon for maximum flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
5. Finish. Spoon any remaining sauce over the salmon for extra flavor, then serve immediately.
