THE BEST HONEY-GLAZED SALMON



The Best Honey-Glazed Salmon image

This is the easiest, most flavorful honey-baked salmon that the whole family will be able to enjoy. It comes together in 30 minutes and only requires eight ingredients. Oh, and that honey-lime drizzle at the end is to die for - no one will judge you for slurping it down! Baking the salmon at a high heat not only quickens the cooking time, but also helps to crisp up the honey glaze and spice mixture that coats the fish.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray, optional
Four 6-ounce portions skin-on salmon fillets
1/4 cup honey
Zest and juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 clove garlic, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray if you plan on eating the salmon skin. (If you do not plan on eating the skin, you can skip this step.) Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Whisk together the honey, lime zest, and juice in a small bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons of the mixture to another small bowl and set aside. Brush the remaining honey-lime mixture over top of the salmon fillets.
  • Combine the brown sugar, cumin, paprika, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon (about 1 heaping teaspoon on each portion). Crimp all 4 sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon to help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the glaze is shiny and turning golden in some spots, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Drizzle the reserved honey-lime mixture over top of the salmon just before serving.

Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     main-dish

Time 28m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup cranberry juice concentrate
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons cherry preserves
4 salmon fillets, approximately 6 ounces each
1 teaspoon salt-free citrus herb seasoning (recommended: Spice Islands)
Orange slices
Toasted slivered almonds, for garnish
2 cups low-sodium chicken stock (recommended: Swansons)
2 cups instant rice (recommended: Uncle Ben's)
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
1 pinch saffron threads
3 tablespoons dried cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil and place in broiler.
  • In small saucepan, over medium-high heat, combine cranberry juice concentrate, cherry preserves, and balsamic vinegar. Simmer until preserves melt, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, season each salmon fillet with 1 teaspoon citrus herb seasoning. Remove the baking sheet from broil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place fillets skin side down on baking sheet. Broil for 6 minutes. Spoon glaze over each fillet, top each with an orange slice and broil for another 2 minutes.
  • Serve glazed salmon fillets hot garnished with almonds.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat chicken stock over medium-high heat to a simmer. Add, rice, salt, pepper and saffron.
  • Bring to a boil. Stir in cherries. Cover and turn heat to low. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
  • Fluff with fork to distribute saffron and cherries. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has a deep pink color. Avoid fillets that are too thin or have a lot of white streaks, as these will be dry and less flavorful.
  • Marinate the salmon before cooking. Marinating the salmon in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize the fish and add flavor.
  • Cook the salmon over medium heat. Cooking the salmon over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Use a cherry glaze. A cherry glaze will add a sweet and tangy flavor to the salmon.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for salmon include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and rice.

Conclusion:

Cherry glazed salmon is an easy and delicious way to prepare this healthy fish. With its sweet and tangy flavor, cherry glazed salmon is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give cherry glazed salmon a try!
