5-Ingredient Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon
A quick and easy dish that pairs succulent salmon with a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze, perfect for impressing family and friends.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets (about 6 oz each), skinless
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your salmon will cook evenly and develop a nice glaze.
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Allow the flavors to blend for a moment.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil, ensuring the salmon fillets won’t stick.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and pour the honey garlic mixture over them, making sure each piece is well-coated. Let them marinate for about 10–15 minutes if you have the time.
Cooking
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. You’ll know it’s done when it flakes easily with a fork and the glaze becomes slightly caramelized.
- Before serving, drizzle any leftover glaze from the baking sheet over the top.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, try using tamari instead of soy sauce. Serve with steamed vegetables or fluffy rice. Refrigerate leftovers for 3-4 days or freeze for about 2 months.
