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.

I got this from Raley's "Something Extra" magazine. Really quick and simple. I actually used pumpkin seeds when I made it and I bet it would be good with any type of fish.

Tips:

Choose the right salmon fillets. Look for fillets that are about 1 inch thick and have a deep pink color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a lot of white streaks.
Use a good quality honey. Raw, unfiltered honey has the best flavor and will give your salmon a beautiful glaze. Avoid using processed or flavored honey.
Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. The best way to tell if the salmon is done is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the salmon flakes easily, it's done.
Serve the salmon immediately. Honey coconut salmon is best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, and serve it with a side of rice or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Honey coconut salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked in a flavorful marinade of honey, coconut milk, and spices, then baked to perfection. The result is a moist, tender, and flavorful salmon that's sure to please everyone at the table.
