Salmon With Manuka Honey Glaze Recipes

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.

SALMON WITH CHIPOTLE HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• Remove salmon from the refrigerator 15 minute before cooking. Heat grill to 375°F
• Stir honey and chipotle puree in a small bowl until well combined.
• Cut 2 pieces of wide, heavy-duty aluminum foil about 6-in. longer than the salmon side. Stack the foil pieces (shiny side down) on a baking sheet and spray generously with cooking spray.
• Place the salmon, skin side down, in the middle of the foil. Fold the foil sides and ends up (1 to 2-in.) to make a shallow pan around the salmon, leaving at least a 1-in. margin around the fish. Season salmon with salt and pepper.
• Carefully transfer the foil pan to the center of the preheated grill. Do not cover the salmon or close the foil over the salmon. Close grill cover and cook for 5 minute Spread the glaze on the salmon (1 tablespoons per salmon portion or 1/3 Celsius per salmon side).
• Close grill and continue to cook about 5 to 7 minute more. Cook just until fish is lightly translucent in the center. It will finish cooking from retained heat. Remove from the grill and let rest a few minutes before serving.
• Garnish with lime zest and serve with lime wedges.
• Alternate Cooking Method: Salmon can also be roasted in an oven preheated to 375°F or pan-seared and finished in the oven. Cook just until lightly translucent in the center; be sure to let the salmon rest a few minutes before serving.

SALMON WITH CHILI-HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Place salmon in a foil-lined baking pan.
• Combine orange and lime juices, honey, cumin, chili powder and hot sauce, stirring well to dissolve the honey.
• Pour about half of the glaze over the salmon, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake 12 minutes per inch of thickness.
• Halfway through the cooking time, pour the remaining glaze on top.
• When the salmon is cooked through, remove from the oven.
• Spoon the thickened glaze in the bottom of the pan over the salmon and serve with wedges of lime.
