Honey Salmon Recipes

HONEY GARLIC SALMON

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Let the salmon rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. With paper towels, pat it dry on both sides.
• In a small mixing bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the honey, hot water, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper. Keep near the stove.
• Heat an ovenproof skillet (cast iron is ideal) just large enough to hold the salmon comfortably over medium high-you don't want the salmon to overlap, but you also don't want there to be too much extra room around the salmon or the sauce may burn.
• Sprinkle the salmon with ½ teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (wait to season the fish until just before adding it to the pan).
• Once the skillet is hot, add the olive oil. Swirl to coat the pan, then add the salmon, skin-side up/flesh side down. When lowering the fish into the pan, move it in a direction away from you so that you aren't splattered with oil. Sprinkle the skin side of the fish with a generous pinch of additional salt.
• Cook the salmon for 4 minutes without disturbing it, until it is browned and releases easily from the pan. With a thin spatula (a fish spatula is perfect), carefully turn over each fillet. Turn off the heat.
• Pour the honey mixture over the salmon fillets. With a spoon, baste the top of the fish with the sauce for 1 minute.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 4 to 5 more minutes for 1-inch fillets; if your salmon is thicker or thinner, you will need to adjust the cooking time accordingly. Salmon is done when it reaches 145 degrees F on an instant read thermometer and flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook or the salmon will be dry (once I get close to 145 degrees F, I remove the salmon to a plate then cover it and let it rest a few minutes so the carryover cooking finishes the job).
• Sprinkle the salmon with parsley or green onion and squeeze additional lemon over the top if you like. Enjoy hot with more pan sauce spooned over the top.

EASY HONEY GARLIC SALMON

Steps:

• Arrange oven shelf to the middle of your oven. Preheat oven to broil/grill settings on medium heat.
• Season salmon with salt, pepper and paprika. Set aside.
• Heat the butter in a skillet or pan over medium-high heat until melted. Add the garlic and sauté for about a minute, until fragrant. Pour in the honey, water and soy sauce; allow the flavours to heat through and combine. Add in the lemon juice; stir well to combine all of the flavours together.
• Add the salmon steaks to the sauce in the pan; cook each fillet (skin-side down if there's any skin) for 3-4 minutes or until golden, while basting the tops with the pan juices. Season with salt and pepper, to taste (if desired).
• Optional -- Add the lemon wedges around the salmon (adds a stronger lemon taste). Baste salmon one more time then transfer the pan to your oven to broil / grill for a further 5-6 minutes, or until the tops of the salmon are nicely charred, and the salmon is cooked to your liking.
• To serve, drizzle with the sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve with steamed vegetables; over rice or with a salad.

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.

HONEY SOY GLAZED SALMON RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Place salmon in a sealable bag or medium bowl.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix marinade ingredients.
• Pour half of the marinade on the salmon. Save the other half for later.
• Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• In a medium pan, heat oil. Add salmon to the pan, but discard the used marinade. Cook salmon on one side for about 2-3 minutes, then flip over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
• Remove salmon from pan. Pour in remaining marinade and reduce.
• Serve the salmon with sauce and a side of veggies. We used broccoli.
• Enjoy!

HONEY-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet; pierce with a fork several times. Season with black pepper.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk olive oil, white cooking wine, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, onion salt, mustard, and hot pepper sauce into the melted butter; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Brush generously over the salmon fillets.
• Bake salmon fillets in the preheated oven, basting with butter mixture every 5 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes. Coat each fillet with honey; continue baking until glazed, 3 to 5 minutes.
