Honey Almond Oven Baked Salmon Recipes

ALMOND CRUSTED SALMON WITH HONEY GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: mix together the honey, soy sauce and garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• For the salmon: Mix together the almonds and sesame seeds and pour onto a plate.
• Brush one of the tablespoons of olive oil evenly over the salmon fillets.
• Press the top of each salmon fillet into the almond mixture. Season the top of each fillet with salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
• Place each salmon fillet, crust side down, into the pan and cook for 5 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure the crust isn't burning. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until salmon is at desired level of doneness. The length of time it takes to cook will depend in part on the thickness of the fillet.
• After the salmon is cooked through, transfer it to a serving platter and pour the reserved honey garlic sauce over the top. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

THE BEST HONEY-GLAZED SALMON

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.

• Season with salt (optional) and then sprinkle chopped almonds on top.
• Bake the salmon fillet for about 15 to 20 minutes at 200 C (400 F). The salmon is finished when its meat is light pink, and the meat flakes apart. Warning: pan frying sucks. Do not use tongs. Repeat: do not use tongs!

HONEY-GLAZED BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix honey, green onions, soy sauce, sesame seeds, garlic, onion, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until blended.
• 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.
