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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

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.

ROASTED SALMON WITH JALAPEñO, HONEY AND LIME

Roasted Salmon With Jalapeño, Honey and Lime image

This is speedy weeknight salmon with a kick, thanks to sliced jalapeño, which flavors the honey glaze and cooks alongside the salmon. The chiles caramelize as they roast, becoming spicy and sweet. If you want to reduce the heat slightly, use two jalapeños instead of three. Serve with steamed white or brown rice, spooning the extra glaze over the salmon and rice.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/4 cup honey
3 medium jalapeños, thinly sliced crosswise into rings
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets, about 1-inch thick
Olive oil, for brushing
Kosher salt, to taste
1/2 lime, for serving
Chopped fresh cilantro, for serving (optional)
Steamed rice, for serving

Steps:

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. While the oven heats, combine the honey, jalapeños, vinegar and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside.
Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. Brush a 9-by-9-inch baking pan (or other similar-size baking pan or dish) with olive oil, then place the fillets in the pan, arranging them evenly without crowding. Brush the fillets generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Pour the glaze and jalapeños over the salmon, spooning some of the glaze onto the fish as it collects in the bottom of the pan.
Roast the salmon for 6 minutes, then baste with the glaze. Return to the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, another 6 to 8 minutes.
Spoon the glaze in the pan over the salmon, then squeeze the lime over the salmon, and sprinkle with salt and cilantro, if using. Serve hot with rice on the side, pouring any glaze that remains in the pan over the rice.

Tips:

Use the freshest possible salmon. Fresh salmon will have a vibrant color and a firm texture. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a slimy texture.
Cook the salmon to your desired doneness. Salmon can be cooked to rare, medium, or well done. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the salmon and the cooking method.
Use a flavorful glaze. The glaze is what will give the salmon its delicious flavor. Be sure to use a glaze that you enjoy the taste of.
Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Salmon can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Honey cilantro glazed salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the glaze is flavorful and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
