Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons hot water
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
6 cloves minced garlic (about 2 tablespoons)
1 1/4 teaspoons smoked paprika
3/4 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Chopped fresh parsley or green onion (for serving)
Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Let the salmon rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. With paper towels, pat it dry on both sides.
  • In a small mixing bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the honey, hot water, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper. Keep near the stove.
  • Heat an ovenproof skillet (cast iron is ideal) just large enough to hold the salmon comfortably over medium high-you don't want the salmon to overlap, but you also don't want there to be too much extra room around the salmon or the sauce may burn.
  • Sprinkle the salmon with ½ teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (wait to season the fish until just before adding it to the pan).
  • Once the skillet is hot, add the olive oil. Swirl to coat the pan, then add the salmon, skin-side up/flesh side down. When lowering the fish into the pan, move it in a direction away from you so that you aren't splattered with oil. Sprinkle the skin side of the fish with a generous pinch of additional salt.
  • Cook the salmon for 4 minutes without disturbing it, until it is browned and releases easily from the pan. With a thin spatula (a fish spatula is perfect), carefully turn over each fillet. Turn off the heat.
  • Pour the honey mixture over the salmon fillets. With a spoon, baste the top of the fish with the sauce for 1 minute.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 4 to 5 more minutes for 1-inch fillets; if your salmon is thicker or thinner, you will need to adjust the cooking time accordingly. Salmon is done when it reaches 145 degrees F on an instant read thermometer and flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook or the salmon will be dry (once I get close to 145 degrees F, I remove the salmon to a plate then cover it and let it rest a few minutes so the carryover cooking finishes the job).
  • Sprinkle the salmon with parsley or green onion and squeeze additional lemon over the top if you like. Enjoy hot with more pan sauce spooned over the top.

Provided by Karina

Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 wild caught salmon fillets (about 1/2 pound or 250 grams each, skin off or on)
Salt and pepper, (to season)
1/2 teaspoon paprika ((mild, sweet or smokey))
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, (finely chopped or minced)
4 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice, ((plus extra to serve))
Lemon wedges (to serve)

Steps:

  • Arrange oven shelf to the middle of your oven. Preheat oven to broil/grill settings on medium heat.
  • Season salmon with salt, pepper and paprika. Set aside.
  • Heat the butter in a skillet or pan over medium-high heat until melted. Add the garlic and sauté for about a minute, until fragrant. Pour in the honey, water and soy sauce; allow the flavours to heat through and combine. Add in the lemon juice; stir well to combine all of the flavours together.
  • Add the salmon steaks to the sauce in the pan; cook each fillet (skin-side down if there's any skin) for 3-4 minutes or until golden, while basting the tops with the pan juices. Season with salt and pepper, to taste (if desired).
  • Optional -- Add the lemon wedges around the salmon (adds a stronger lemon taste). Baste salmon one more time then transfer the pan to your oven to broil / grill for a further 5-6 minutes, or until the tops of the salmon are nicely charred, and the salmon is cooked to your liking.
  • To serve, drizzle with the sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with steamed vegetables; over rice or with a salad.

HONEY SOY GLAZED SALMON RECIPE BY TASTY



Honey Soy Glazed Salmon Recipe by Tasty image

Two words: honey salmon! Sure, it takes a tiny bit of prep work, but once you marinate your salmon, you won't be able to go back. A simple mix of honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger coats and flavors your fish for 30 minutes before you throw it on the pan until the outside is perfectly crispy. Once that's done, you heat up and reduce some extra marinade to make a thick, to-die-for glaze to pour over your filet. Serve with your favorite veggies or rice and enjoy!

Provided by Robin Broadfoot

Categories     Dinner

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 oz skinless salmon
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ginger, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
⅓ cup less sodium soy sauce
⅓ cup honey

Steps:

  • Place salmon in a sealable bag or medium bowl.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix marinade ingredients.
  • Pour half of the marinade on the salmon. Save the other half for later.
  • Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a medium pan, heat oil. Add salmon to the pan, but discard the used marinade. Cook salmon on one side for about 2-3 minutes, then flip over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove salmon from pan. Pour in remaining marinade and reduce.
  • Serve the salmon with sauce and a side of veggies. We used broccoli.
  • Enjoy!
