Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Quick and Easy: Ready in about 25–30 minutes.
  • Flavor-Packed: A perfect balance of sweet honey and savory garlic.
  • Versatile: Pairs well with rice, quinoa, or roasted veggies.
  • Family-Friendly: Elegant enough for guests but simple for weeknights.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 4 salmon fillets (skin-on for extra flavor)
  • ¼ cup honey (pure, for the best caramelization)
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish

Optional: A squeeze of fresh lemon or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra brightness and crunch.


Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Salmon

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. Dry fillets will crisp up beautifully.

2. Make the Honey Garlic Glaze

In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir until smooth.

3. Pan-Sear the Salmon

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes without moving, until the skin is golden and crisp.

4. Flip and Glaze

Flip the salmon carefully, brush half the glaze over the top, and cook for 3–4 more minutes until the salmon is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

5. Finish and Serve

Drizzle the remaining glaze over the salmon. Garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately with rice, quinoa, or your favorite vegetables.


Tips for the Best Honey Garlic Salmon

  • Don’t Overcook: Salmon cooks quickly—remove from heat just as it reaches 145°F to keep it moist.
  • Marinate for Extra Flavor: If time allows, marinate salmon in the glaze for 20–30 minutes before cooking.
  • Add a Spicy Kick: A pinch of chili flakes or a drizzle of sriracha adds heat to balance the sweetness.

Serving Suggestions

This sticky, crispy salmon pairs perfectly with:

  • Steamed rice or quinoa to soak up the glaze
  • Roasted vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, or green beans
  • Fresh salad with a lemon vinaigrette for a bright, light side

Storing & Reheating

  • Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: Warm gently in a skillet over low heat or in the oven at 325°F until heated through.
  • Freezing: Wrap cooled fillets tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and freeze for up to 1 month.
