Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup panko
¼ cup finely chopped pecans
2 teaspoons finely chopped parsley (optional, for color)
4 (6-oz) salmon fillets
1 lemon, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, melted butter, honey, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • In another small bowl, mix together the panko, pecans, parsley (if using), and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt.
  • Spoon the honey-mustard mixture evenly over the salmon fillets. (Don't worry if it drips down the sides a little.) Sprinkle the panko-pecan mixture over the glaze, pressing it lightly so it adheres.
  • Bake for 7-10 minutes per inch of thickness, depending on how well done you like your salmon. (If you find that the topping is browning more than you'd like before the fish is cooked through, loosely cover the salmon with foil.) Serve hot or at room temperature. (Note that if your salmon has skin, it may stick to the foil; to remove the fish from the pan, slide a thin spatula between the skin and the flesh, leaving the skin behind.)
  • Make Ahead: The salmon can be glazed, coated with the panko-pecan mixture, and refrigerated up to 3 hours ahead of time.

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

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:

  • To save time, use pre-cut salmon fillets.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can bake the salmon in the oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • To make the honey pecan sauce in advance, simply combine all of the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Garnish the salmon with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.

Conclusion:

This salmon with honey pecan sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the honey pecan sauce is a perfect complement. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
