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.

Tips:

Choose a thick salmon fillet for even cooking and a flaky texture. If using thinner fillets, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Make sure the salmon is well-seasoned with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help enhance the flavor of the fish.
Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the salmon. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
Cook the salmon over medium heat to prevent it from burning. If the heat is too high, the fish will cook too quickly on the outside and remain raw on the inside.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature of the fish should be 145°F for medium-rare, 155°F for medium, or 165°F for well-done.
Allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Honey garlic glazed salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet honey, savory garlic, and tangy lemon creates a flavorful glaze that perfectly complements the rich and flaky salmon. Serve this dish with roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
