Description

This Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon recipe offers a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors with a hint of spice. Baked to tender, flaky perfection, the salmon is coated with a luscious glaze made from honey, garlic, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar. Garnished with scallions for freshness, this quick and easy dish is ideal for a healthy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 1 pound fresh salmon fillets (cut into 2 or 4 pieces)

Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 large garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • Red pepper flakes (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)

Garnish (optional)

  • Chopped scallions

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F. This high temperature will help cook the salmon quickly and lock in moisture.
  2. Prepare Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and salt. Stir well to create a balanced honey garlic glaze with a little kick from the red pepper flakes.
  3. Arrange Salmon: Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking, then place the salmon fillets inside with the skin side down if applicable.
  4. Bake Salmon: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake the salmon for 14-18 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature between 135-145°F, ensuring it is tender and cooked through.
  5. Reduce Glaze: While the salmon bakes, heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour the prepared glaze mixture into the skillet and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens to a syrupy consistency.
  6. Glaze and Garnish: Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and baste each fillet generously with the thickened glaze. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped scallions for an added fresh flavor and visual appeal before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • Check the salmon early for doneness to avoid overcooking.
  • Serve this salmon with steamed rice or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
  • The glaze can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
