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.

HONEY-GLAZED BAKED SALMON

I got this recipe from a friend and, as a new cook, it is easy to make and delicious to boot! Even when I make this recipe with fewer pieces of salmon (2 small salmon filets), I still make the same amount of honey glaze, because it is so delicious and I prefer having more sauce rather than not enough.

Ingredients

⅓ cup honey
⅓ cup thinly sliced green onions
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced onion
¾ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more to taste
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
4 salmon fillets

Place salmon in single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spoon honey mixture evenly on top of salmon; the mixture will run off, but try to coat the fish with a thin layer all over.
Roast salmon in the preheated oven, basting salmon with the sauce at least once, until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

Choose the right salmon. Look for a fresh, wild-caught salmon fillet that is about 1 inch thick. Avoid fillets that are too thin or too thick, as they will cook unevenly.
Make sure the salmon is properly thawed. If your salmon is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes. Do not thaw salmon at room temperature, as this can promote the growth of bacteria.
Pat the salmon dry before cooking. This will help the glaze stick to the fish and prevent it from becoming soggy.
Use a good quality honey. The honey you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the glaze. Choose a honey that is flavorful and not too sweet.
Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it carefully. Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Honey-glazed baked salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the honey glaze adds a touch of sweetness and flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
